Hi Jean, All the nodes are not necessary involved in a repair depending on vnodes being enabled or not, on your topology, on the racks you are using etc.
This being said, if a node was supposed to be part of a repair process, the repair of all the subranges including the down node will fail. That's what I have seen happening so far. @Stone Fang, not sure who is right on this (I might have missed some information about this topic), but there is a ticket about this topic: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10446. You apparently can specify which nodes to repair, but a down node is not automatically ignored as far as I can tell.
