Howdy! Not a matter of life or death, just curious.
I've just stood up a three node cluster (v1.2.8) on three c3.2xlarge boxes in AWS. Silly me forgot the correct replication factor for one of the needed keyspaces. So I changed it via cli and ran a nodetool repair. Well .. there is no data at all in the keyspace yet, only the definition and nodetool repair ran about 20minutes using 2 of the 8 CPU fully. Any hints what nodetool repair is doing on an empty cluster that makes the host spin so hard?
