Why without -PR when recovering from crash? Repair without -PR runs full repair of the cluster, the node which receives a command is a repair controller, ALL nodes synchronizes replicas at the same time, streaming data between each other. The problems may arise:
· When streaming hangs (it tends to hang even on a stable network), repair session hangs (any version does re-stream?) · Network will be highly saturated · In case of high inconsistency some nodes may receive a lot of data, disk usage much more than 2x (depends on RF) · A lot of compactions will be pending IMO, best way to run repair is from script with -PR for single CF from single node at a time and monitoring progress, like: repair -pr node1 ks1 cf1 repair -pr node2 ks1 cf1 repair -pr node3 ks1 cf1 repair -pr node1 ks1 cf2 repair -pr node2 ks1 cf2 repair -pr node3 ks1 cf2 With some progress or other control in between, your choice. Use repair with care, do not let your cluster go down.
