Multi-site Active-Active replication - Maintenance Commands

[Matthew Allen <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

We currently run a script that runs the following on our separate clusters
each night.  The script operates on 3 nodes (out of 9) a night to minimize
impact to the cluster.

  repair -pr
  compact
  cleanup

These separate clusters are going to start replicating between each other
within a few weeks.

I (may) have (mis)read that when using multiple data-centers, that a
"repair", instead of a "repair -pr" should be used.  I'm reluctant to do
this, as when we initially used to run a "repair", we would suffer hung
repairs and an increased load on the hosts due to multiple ranges being
repaired at the same time.

So going forward to a multi-dc cluster, we intend to run the following

  -local repair -pr
  compact
  cleanup

Is there a definitive answer for this ?

Thanks

Matt
