Hi Atul, could you be more specific on how you are running repair ? What's the precise command line for that, does it run on several nodes at the same time, etc... What is your gc_grace_seconds ? Do you see errors in your logs that would be linked to repairs (Validation failure or failure to create a merkle tree)?
You seem to mention a single node that went down but say the whole cluster seem to have zombie data. What is the connection you see between the node that went down and the fact that deleted data comes back to life ? What is your strategy for cyclic maintenance repair (schedule, command line or tool, etc...) ?
