while preparing a test to capture logs i decided to not let the data set get
too big and i did see it finish. i only had 2gb this go around, but i had
about 120+gb before so maybe it was just taking a long time.
that being said, i believe we need something in the logs, nodetool, and/or JMX
that indicates a repair is happening and it is finished. i see messages about
streaming in JMX, but the current status for the crashed/repaired
(192.168.132.105) host is "Sending a stream initiate message to
/192.168.132.103". but nodetool streams reports:
[bburr...@kv-app03 ~]$ ~/cassandra/bin/nodetool -host localhost -port 9000
streams
Mode: Normal
Nothing streaming to /192.168.132.105
Not receiving any streams.
[bburr...@kv-app03 ~]$
... so i guess it is working, but maybe just some confusion with messaging .. i
can't explain why nodetool ring shows the sizes it does below except for read
repair ... i'll keep an eye out for it again and try it again with more data.
thx

If you have debug logs from the run, would you mind opening a JIRA describing
the problem?

one last comment about thesting this is i stopped all the servers, wiped their
data and restarted. allowed each node to get about 15gb on them, then repeated
the test. the nodetool repair does not repair the crashed node.
the only minorly interesting thing about my cluster is that i use random
partitioner and assigned a token to each node.

same IP, same token. i'm trying Handling Failure, #3.
it is running, a part of the ring, and seems to be handling reads/writes, but
does not appear to have received a copy of its data (the last node below).
i've searched the all logs for ERRORs but there are none. i will compact the
other nodes, but i don't think it will make a difference.

if you bring up a new node w/ a different ip but the same token, it
will confuse things.
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations "handling failure" section
covers best practices here.
