Benjamin Roth commented on CASSANDRA-12888:
-------------------------------------------
It depends ;) there are known issues. Mostly related to repair and
streaming. MV basically work and do what you expect of them. But
maintenance jobs may be slow and or painful. So the good old saying is
true: you can use them if you understand them and know what you are doing.
But don't expect them to be like plug and play
> Incremental repairs broken for MVs and CDC

> Key: CASSANDRA-12888
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12888
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Streaming and Messaging
> Reporter: Stefan Podkowinski
> Assignee: Benjamin Roth
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 3.0.x, 3.x
>
>
> SSTables streamed during the repair process will first be written locally and
> afterwards either simply added to the pool of existing sstables or, in case
> of existing MVs or active CDC, replayed on mutation basis:
> As described in {{StreamReceiveTask.OnCompletionRunnable}}:
> {quote}
> We have a special path for views and for CDC.
> For views, since the view requires cleaning up any pre-existing state, we
> must put all partitions through the same write path as normal mutations. This
> also ensures any 2is are also updated.
> For CDC-enabled tables, we want to ensure that the mutations are run through
> the CommitLog so they can be archived by the CDC process on discard.
> {quote}
> Using the regular write path turns out to be an issue for incremental
> repairs, as we loose the {{repaired_at}} state in the process. Eventually the
> streamed rows will end up in the unrepaired set, in contrast to the rows on
> the sender site moved to the repaired set. The next repair run will stream
> the same data back again, causing rows to bounce on and on between nodes on
> each repair.
> See linked dtest on steps to reproduce. An example for reproducing this
> manually using ccm can be found
