Hi Jonathan,
That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.
Another quick question, as the cluster is still operative and the data for
the past 2 weeks (since updating replication factor) is present in both the
data centres, should I run "nodetool rebuild" or "nodetool repair"?
I read that nodetool rebuild is faster and is useful till the new data
centre is empty and no partition keys are present. So when is the good time
to use either of the commands and what impact can it have on the data
centre operations?
Thanks and Regards
