Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-3200.

Resolution: Later
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.3)
Pinged Sylvain about this. "Last time I checked seriously at that I remember
giving up because that would require a substantial refactor of the repair code
and I wasn't really sure what was the best way to get started."
> Repair: compare all trees together (for a given range/cf) instead of by pair

> Key: CASSANDRA-3200
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3200
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
> Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: repair
>
> Currently, repair compare merkle trees by pair, in isolation of any other
> tree. What that means concretely is that if I have three node A, B and C
> (RF=3) with A and B in sync, but C having some range r inconsitent with both
> A and B (since those are consistent), we will do the following transfer of r:
> A -> C, C -> A, B -> C, C -> B.
> The fact that we do both A -> C and C -> A is fine, because we cannot know
> which one is more to date from A or C. However, the transfer B -> C is
> useless provided we do A -> C if A and B are in sync. Not doing that transfer
> will be a 25% improvement in that case. With RF=5 and only one node
> inconsistent with all the others, that almost a 40% improvement, etc...
> Given that this situation of one node not in sync while the others are is
> probably fairly common (one node died so it is behind), this could be a fair
> improvement over what is transferred. In the case where we use repair to
> rebuild completely a node, this will be a dramatic improvement, because it
> will avoid the rebuilded node to get RF times the data it should get.
