Donald Smith commented on CASSANDRA-5351:
-----------------------------------------
As reported in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5220, we ran
"nodetool repair" on a 3-node cassandra v. 2.0.3 cluster using production
hardware, on realistic test data. Each node has about 1TB of data. After over
five days, the repair job is still running.
> Avoid repairing already-repaired data by default

> Key: CASSANDRA-5351
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5351
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Assignee: Lyuben Todorov
> Labels: repair
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> Repair has always built its merkle tree from all the data in a columnfamily,
> which is guaranteed to work but is inefficient.
> We can improve this by remembering which sstables have already been
> successfully repaired, and only repairing sstables new since the last repair.
> (This automatically makes CASSANDRA-3362 much less of a problem too.)
> The tricky part is, compaction will (if not taught otherwise) mix repaired
> data together with non-repaired. So we should segregate unrepaired sstables
> from the repaired ones.
