Hi,
Please note that I confirmed on v1.0.7.

right?
Yes, but that's how -pr works. A repair without -pr does more.
For example, suppose you have a ring with RF=3 like this.
A - B - C - D - E - F
Then, a repair on A without -pr does for 3 ranges as follows:
[A, B, C]
[E, F, A]
[F, A, B]
Among them, the first one, [A, B, C] is the primary range of A.
So, with -pr, a repair runs only for:
[A, B, C]

nodetool repair –pr???
Yes.
You need to run two repairs on A and D.
> What is the advantage of –pr then?
Whenever you want to minimize rapair impacts.
For example, suppose you got one node down for a while, and bring it
back to the cluster.
You need to run rapair without affecting the entire cluster. Then, -pr
is the option.

I mean a repair involves all three nodes and pushes and pulls data, right?
Thanks,
