Efficient data deduplication is described herein. A deduplication bit array partition can be created that corresponds to a number of data items in an expected dataset. The deduplication bit array partition can track whether the data items have been received. When a data item in the expected dataset is received, a bit in the deduplication bit array partition corresponding to the received data item can be accessed to determine, based on the value of the bit, if the received data item has already been received. When the value of the bit indicates that the received data item has not already been received, the value can be changed to indicate that the data item has now been received. When the value of the bit indicates that the received data item has already been received, the data item can be deleted or ignored.
