Summary: Provide option to repair from a data center in "nodetool repair" Key: CASSANDRA-10936 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10936 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Components: Tools Environment: PROD Reporter: Anubhav Kale Priority: Minor Sometimes, its known that the correct / latest data resides in a Data Center. It would be useful if nodetool repair can provide a "Source DC" option to source the data from. This will save a ton of traffic on the network. There are some discussions around this in CASSANDRA-6552. A case in point where this is handy: People may want to backup data from a designated data center (so that only one copy of data is backed up) to remote storage (azure / AWS). At restore time once the data is restored to this DC, other data centers can "source" data from this through "nodetool repair -- source Foo". -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
