Hi Jean, This option is available in C* version 2.1.x & above, where you can specify hosts in nodetool repair command . For more detail please visit the link below :

That's what I have seen happening so far. @Stone Fang, not sure who is right on this (I might have missed some information about this topic), but there is a ticket about this topic: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10446. You apparently can specify which nodes to repair, but a down node is not automatically ignored as far as I can tell.

Is it possible to exclude him from the repair process in order to continue with the repair? If not Is the repair continue reparing the other replicas even if one is down?
