Hi,
I have a phenomena I cannot explain, and I would like to understand.
I’m running Cassandra 2.1.8 on a cluster of 5 nodes.
I’m using replication factor 3, with most default settings.
Last week I done a nodetool status which gave me on each node a load of about
200 GB.
Since then there was no deletes no inserts.
This weekend I did a nodetool -h 192.168.2.100 repair -pr -par -inc
And now when I make a nodetool status I see completely a new picture!!
nodetool -h zennode0 status
Datacenter: datacenter1

The nodes 192.168.2.101 and 103 are about what they were last week, but now the
three other nodes have a load which is about 5 times bigger!
1) Is this normal?
2) What is the meaning of the column Load?
3) Is there anything to fix? Can I leave it like that?
Strange I’m asking to fix after I did a *repair*.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Kind regards
Jean
