You should always run repair as required by GCGraceSeconds, unless you really really know what you're doing. So no, there is no 'needs repair' state. See http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations#Frequency_of_nodetool_repair (What *would* be useful perhaps is to be able to ask a node for the time of its most recently started repair, to facilitate easier comparison with GCGraceSeconds for monitoring purposes.) -- / Peter Schuller
