[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-5901) Bootstrap should also make the data consistent on the new node

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5901?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13744484#comment-13744484 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-5901:
-------------------------------------------

I'm don't think I understand the reasoning here.  Cassandra is designed to tolerate individual replicas having temporarily stale data.  If a bootstrapped node streams such stale data from an existing replica, the bootstrap operation does not change the staleness!  You had stale data pre-bootstrap, and you still do post-bootstrap.  So why would you panic-repair the post-bootstrap node but not pre-bootstrap?

> Currently when we are bootstrapping a new node, it might bootstrap from a node which does not have most upto date data. Because of this, we need to run a repair after that.
> Most people will always run the repair so it would help if we can provide a parameter to bootstrap to run the repair once the bootstrap has finished. 
> It can also stop the node from responding to reads till repair has finished. This could be another param as well.
