Alexander Dejanovski commented on CASSANDRA-14346:
--------------------------------------------------

I was told that my comments sounded like I'm strongly opposed to this ticket, 
which is absolutely not the case so I'll sum up my thoughts here : 
 * Coordinated repair is a must have and should be the first thing that's 
implemented
 * Scheduling and (especially) auto scheduling will require more thoughts and 
discussion IMHO, at least as long as incremental repair has not proved to be 
bulletproof in 4.0 (we still have to see it running in production for a while). 
Once we can repair any table/keyspace in just a few minutes things will be very 
different.
 * Based on what the Apache Cassandra project went through with new features 
lately, I wouldn't rush into implementing all of this by default and take a 
more cautious approach for 4.0.

On a side note, because one might think I'm biased in that conversation (hum 
monologue so far), removing boilerplate from Reaper to have some features like 
computing the splits or coordinating the repair jobs handled by Cassandra 
internally would actually make me VERY happy.

> There have been many attempts to automate repair in Cassandra, which makes 
> sense given that it is necessary to give our users eventual consistency. Most 
> recently CASSANDRA-10070, CASSANDRA-8911 and CASSANDRA-13924 have all looked 
> for ways to solve this problem.
> At Netflix we've built a scheduled repair service within Priam (our sidecar), 
> which we spoke about last year at NGCC. Given the positive feedback at NGCC 
> we focussed on getting it production ready and have now been using it in 
> production to repair hundreds of clusters, tens of thousands of nodes, and 
> petabytes of data for the past six months. Also based on feedback at NGCC we 
> have invested effort in figuring out how to integrate this natively into 
> Cassandra rather than open sourcing it as an external service (e.g. in Priam).
> As such, [~vinaykumarcse] and I would like to re-work and merge our 
> implementation into Cassandra, and have created a [design 
> document|https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RV4rOrG1gwlD5IljmrIq_t45rz7H3xs9GbFSEyGzEtM/edit?usp=sharing]
>  showing how we plan to make it happen, including the the user interface.
> As we work on the code migration from Priam to Cassandra, any feedback would 
> be greatly appreciated about the interface or v1 implementation features. I 
> have tried to call out in the document features which we explicitly consider 
> future work (as well as a path forward to implement them in the future) 
> because I would very much like to get this done before the 4.0 merge window 
> closes, and to do that I think aggressively pruning scope is going to be a 
> necessity.
