Ketan, The MD5 checksum will provide duplicate detection for the duration that the original product resides in your queue. The "pqmon" utility will show the age of the oldest product in your queue. We try to advise users to create a product queue that will hold at least 1 hours worth of data depending on how much data they are ingesting (the product queue size is determined in the ldmadmin-pl.conf file when runing "ldmadmin mkqueue").
