Soenneker.Deduplication.SlidingWindow

A thread-safe, in-memory “seen recently” set with bucketed expiration and compact XXH3-64 keys.

Installation

dotnet add package Soenneker.Deduplication.SlidingWindow

Usage

using Soenneker.Deduplication.SlidingWindow;

await using var dedupe = new SlidingWindowXxHashDedupe(
    window: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5),
    rotationInterval: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10),
    capacityHint: 100_000);

if (dedupe.TryMarkSeen("event:01J..."))
{
    // First observation inside the active window.
}

TryMarkSeen returns true when the hash was absent and adds it. A repeat returns false and refreshes that hash into the current time bucket, so it remains present until a full window passes without another observation.

Use Contains for a non-refreshing lookup and TryRemove to make a value immediately eligible again:

bool recentlySeen = dedupe.Contains(eventId);
bool removed = dedupe.TryRemove(eventId);

Window precision

Expiration is bucketed rather than per-item. The bucket count is Ceiling(window / rotationInterval), with a minimum of two buckets. A key therefore expires on a rotation near the configured window boundary, not at an exact timestamp.

Choose a shorter rotation interval for finer expiry precision, at the cost of more buckets and more frequent cleanup. capacityHint sizes the internal dictionary initially; it is not a hard memory limit.

Repeated observations are queued so the implementation can preserve the latest bucket safely. Memory use therefore depends on both unique keys and observation rate; it is not simply eight bytes per unique hash.

Hash representation

Original values are not retained. The string and ReadOnlySpan<char> APIs hash UTF-16 characters, while the Utf8 APIs hash the supplied bytes. Use one representation consistently for mark, lookup, and removal.

Different inputs can theoretically share a 64-bit hash. Use exact keys when collision tolerance is unacceptable.

Lifetime and scope

The instance owns a background rotation task and must be disposed. It is process-local: restarts lose history, and separate application instances do not share it. It is useful for best-effort suppression and reducing repeated work, but it is not an exactly-once or durable idempotency boundary.
