Hi Patrick,

Is this time series data? If so, I have run into issues with repair on time 
series data using the SizeTieredCompactionStrategy. I have had better luck 
using the TimeWindowCompactionStrategy.

Subject: Constant blocking read repair for such a tiny table

I have a cluster that is running 3.11.4 ( was upgraded a while back from 2.1.16 
).  what I see is a steady rate of read repair which is about 10% constantly on 
only this 1 table.  Repairs have been run (actually several times).  The table 
does not have a lot of writes to it so after repair, or even after a read 
repair I would expect it to be fine.  the reason i'm having to dig into this so 
much is for the fact that under a much large traffic load than their normal 
traffic, latencies are higher than the app team wants

I mean this thing is tiny, it's a 12x12 cluster but this 1 table is like 1GB 
per node on disk.

the application team is doing reads at LOCAL_QUORUM and I can simulate this on 
that cluster by running a query using quorum and/or local_quorum and in the 
trace can see every time running the query it comes back with a 
DigestMismatchException no matter how many times I run it. that record hasn't 
been updated by the application for several months.

repairs are scheduled and run every 7 days via reaper, recently in the past 
week this table has been repaired at least 3 times.  every time there are 
mismatches and data streams back and forth but yet still a constant rate of 
read repairs. 

curious if anyone has any recommendations to look info further or have 
experienced anything like this?

this node has been up for 24 hours.. this is the netstats for read repairs
Mode: NORMAL
Not sending any streams.
