Charles Brophy commented on CASSANDRA-4417:
-------------------------------------------

Yes, we operate under a heavy write load and we do have frequent compaction as 
a result, but under normal conditions I never see this exception - or at least 
it doesn't happen often enough for me to catch. Following a repair, however, 
it's a guarantee for us. Could it be as simple as:

* the two servers are participants in the same key-range replicant and the 
sstables contain the same key/row/column references
* the process of streaming repair is sending a set of key/row/column references 
to the requestor in the same sstable as the out-of-sync data it's already aware 
of via repair
* Compaction finds the duplicate references in the recently received sstables - 
they're basically the other replicant's copies of that data

It seems that the act of sending the sstables from one server to the other when 
both are replicants of the same key range would be expected to result in 
duplicate references. I'm probably way off.
