Hi James, thanks for reaching out.A large number of fixes have landed for Incremental
Repair in the 3.x series, though it's possible some may have been committed to 4.0
without a backport. Incremental repair works well on Cassandra 4.0.1. I'd start here
to ensure you're picking up all fixes that went in, though I do think it's likely to
work well on a recent 3.0.x build as well (I'm less familiar with the 3.11.x
series).– ScottOn Sep 16, 2021, at 1:02 PM, James Brown <jbr...@easypost.com>

they're still a good default. What's the current best thinking? The most recent 3.x
documentation still advocates in favor of using incremental repairs...CASSANDRA-9143
is marked as fixed in 4.0; did any improvements make it into any of the 3.11.x
releases?If I need the performance of incremental repairs, should I just be plotting
a 4.0.x upgrade?-- James BrownEngineer
