Symptoms
Assume that you use Transactional replication in SQL Server 2016 or 2017 with Microsoft Azure SQL Database (DB) Subscriber, and you use multiple subscription streams. With this configuration, when there's a deadlock between the different subscription streams, the Distribution Agent will try to roll back all open transactions, and there will be a retry in single subscription mode. In this situation, you may see an intermittent "row not found" error at the Subscriber.
