Hi,

I understand that we must repair the DB on a regular basis.
Now I also see that making a repair is using lots of resources in the cluster 
so I need to do this during the weekend because I really would like to have 
high performance at least during the week days.

In the documentation I see the "incremental nodetool repair”. That really seems 
to be the option for me.

Few questions:

1) Why is it written in the documentation that it is suggested to do 
incremental repair daily, and full repair on the weekends? Is repair 
incremental not good enough or not safe?
2) In order to use incremental repair we need to do migration steps. One of 
these steps is to run the tool sstablerepairedset. What is the parameter 
<sstables>? Is it the name (without extension) of all *.db files contained in 
the data/cfdir?
3) Is the sstablerepairedset really needed when making a repair incremental on 
an empty DB?

Thanks for your help

Jean
