Sylvain Lebresne reopened CASSANDRA-5972: ----------------------------------------- You're right, I've read your suggestion a bit too quickly. If we do update the merkle trees after each pair of synchronization, we can indeed save some more transfer. Reopening since I was too quick at calling it a duplicate. > Reduce the amount of data to be transferred during repair > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-5972 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5972 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Jacek Lewandowski > Priority: Minor > > Currently, when a validator finds a token range different in n replicas, data > streams are initiated simultaneously between each possible pair of these n > nodes, in both directions. It yields n*(n-1) data stream in total. > It can be done in a sequence - Replica[1] -> R[2], R[2] -> R[3], ... , R[n-1] > -> R[n]. After this process, the data in R[n] are up to date. Then, we > continue: R[n] -> R[1], R[1] -> R[2], ... , R[n-2] -> R[n-1]. The active > repair is done after 2*(n-1) data transfers performed sequentially in 2*(n-1) > steps. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
