----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, that does assume a bunch of things. I know that it is far more complicated 
than the current solution. And, I agree that a huge advantage of the solution 
proposed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3200 is its rather 
straightforward implementation, especially in comparison to the one described 
here. 

However, I've found it difficult to prove that the my solution is worse :)

For example, in a situation where one of n+1 replicas has outdated sub-range R 
(and the rest are in sync), the procedure from C*-3200 will initiate n+1 data 
transfers. With the algorithm described here, we would require only one data 
transfer with a probability (n-1)/n, or 2 data transfers with a probability 
1/n. It depends on which node starts the sequence.

> 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.
