I am using Cassandra 1.1.11 and plan on upgrading soon, but in the
meantime here is what happened.
I couldn't run repairs because of a slow WAN pipe, so i removed the
second data center from the cluster.
Today I need to bring that data center back in. It is not 2-3 days out
dated. I have two options:
1) Treat this as a new data center and let the nodes sync from scratch, or
2) Bring the nodes back up with all the data in place and do a repair.
We are talking about 30-40Gigs per node. There are 4 nodes in both data
centers, with RF=2.
