Hi Sean, In order to mitigate its impact, anticompaction is not fully executed when incremental repair is run with -pr. What you'll observe is that running repair on all nodes with -pr will leave sstables marked as unrepaired on all of them.
Then, if you think about it you realize it's no big deal as -pr is useless with incremental repair : data is repaired only once with incremental repair, which is what -pr intended to fix on full repair, by repairing all token ranges only once instead of times the replication factor.
