In the special case where you have RF == Number of nodes.
The recommended approach is to use -pr and run it on each node periodically.

That does not look right. There should be messages about requesting and
receiving merkle tree's from other nodes, and that certain CF's are in sync.
These are all logged from the AntiEntropyService.

it should be doing that.
Look for messages like this in the log
logger.info(String.format("[repair #%s] new session: will sync %s
on range %s for %s.%s", getName(), repairedNodes(), range, tablename,
Arrays.toString(cfnames)));
They say how much is going to be synced, and with what. Try running repair with
-pr on one of nodes not already repaired.
