I've got a couple of questions related issues I'm encountering using Cassandra under a heavy write load:
1. With a ConsistencyLevel of quorum, does FBUtilities.waitForFutures() wait for read repair to complete before returning? 2. When read repair applies a mutation, it needs to obtain a lock for the associated memtable. Does compaction obtain this same lock? (I'm asking because I've seen readrepair spend a few seconds stalling in org.apache.cassandra.db.Table.apply). Thanks, Jasdeep
