Actually, repair could cause unreplicated data to be streamed and new sstables to be created. New sstables could cause pending compactions and increase the potential number of sstables a row could be spread across. Therefore you might need more disk seeks to read a row and have slower read response time. If the read response time is critical, it's a good idea to wait for pending compactions to settle before repairing other neighbouring ranges that overlap replicas. -- Omid > -- > Aaron Turner > http://synfin.net/ Twitter: @synfinatic > http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/ - Pcap editing and replay tools for Unix & > Windows > Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary > Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. > -- Benjamin Franklin > "carpe diem quam minimum credula postero"
