2013-08-01 Thread Carl Lerche
Hello, I read in the docs that `nodetool repair` should be regularly run unless no delete is ever performed. In my app, I never delete, but I heavily use the ttl feature. Should repair still be run regularly? Also, does repair take less time if it is run regularly? If not, is there a way to

We observed the same behavior. During last repair the data distribution on nodes was imbalanced as well resulting in one node bloating. On Aug 1, 2013 12:36 PM, Carl Lerche m...@carllerche.com wrote: Hello, I read in the docs that `nodetool repair` should be regularly run unless no delete is

TTL is effectively DELETE; you need to run a repair once every gc_grace_seconds. If you don't, data might un-delete itself. The undelete part is not true. btw: With CASSANDRA-4917 TTLed columns will not even create a tombstone (assuming ttl gc_grace). The rest of your mail I agree with :-)
