Please correct me if I am wrong. > My understanding is that if you : 1) set read repair chance to 100% 2) read all keys in the keyspace with a client You would accomplish the same increase in consistency as you would by running repair. In cases where this may matter, and your system can handle delivering the hints, increasing the already-increased-from-old-default-of-1-hour current default of 3 hours to 6 or more hours gives operators more time to work in the case of partition or failure. Note that hints are only an optimization, only repair (and read repair at 100%, I think..) assert any guarantee of consistency. =Rob
