One of the main reasons for regularly running repair is to make sure
deletes are propagated in the cluster, ie, data is not resurrected if a
node never received the delete call.
And repair-on-read takes care of repairing inconsistencies "on-the-fly".
So if I were to set a universal TTL on all columns - so everything would
only live for a certain age, would I be able to get away without having to
do regular repairs with nodetool?
I realize this scenario would not be applicable for everyone, but our data
model would allow us to do this.
So could this be an alternative to running the (resource-intensive,
long-running) repairs with nodetool?
Thanks.
