Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-5351:
-------------------------------------------
bq. Add a repairedAt field
Since I appear to have confused virtually everyone on this point: we're just
using the presence of repairedAt as a boolean to mean "don't bother repairing
this again, unless --include-previously-repaired." I just suggest a timestamp
because experience shows that keeping time around as extra metadata tends to be
useful.
> Avoid repairing already-repaired data by default

> Key: CASSANDRA-5351
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5351
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Labels: repair
> Fix For: 2.0

>
> Repair has always built its merkle tree from all the data in a columnfamily,
> which is guaranteed to work but is inefficient.
> We can improve this by remembering which sstables have already been
> successfully repaired, and only repairing sstables new since the last repair.
> (This automatically makes CASSANDRA-3362 much less of a problem too.)
> The tricky part is, compaction will (if not taught otherwise) mix repaired
> data together with non-repaired. So we should segregate unrepaired sstables
> from the repaired ones.
