Increasing the number of threads alone won't help, because you need to add connectionsPerHost-awareness to StreamPlan.requestRanges (otherwise only a single connection per host is created) similar to what was done to StreamPlan.transferFiles by CASSANDRA-3668, but maybe bit trickier. There's an open ticket to support that on CASSANDRA-4663
There's also another discussion on improving rebuild parallelism on CASSANDRA-12015. 2016-06-16 14:43 GMT-03:00 Anubhav Kale <anubhav.k...@microsoft.com>: > Hello, > > > > I noticed that StreamCoordinator.ConnectionsPerHost is always set to 1 > (Cassandra 2.1.13).
