Hi all I'm a bit lost: I tried a repair yesterday with only one CF and that didn't really work the way I expected but I thought that would be a bug which only affects that special case.
So I tried again for all CFs. I started with a nicely compacted machine with around 320GB of load. Total disc space on this node was 1.1TB. After it went out of disc space (meaning I received around 700GB of data) I had a very brief look at the repair code again and it seems to me that the repairing node will get all data for its range from all its neighbors. Is that true and if so is it the intended behavior? If so one would rather need 5-6 times of disc space given that compactions that need to run after the sstable rebuild also need temp disc space. Cheers, Daniel
