[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7168) Add repair aware consistency levels

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-7168:
-------------------------------------------

Do we actually need to add a special ConsistencyLevel?  I'd rather just apply this as an optimization to all CL > ONE, replacing the data/digest split that is almost certainly less useful.

> With CASSANDRA-5351 and CASSANDRA-2424 I think there is an opportunity to avoid a lot of extra disk I/O when running queries with higher consistency levels.  
> Since repaired data is by definition consistent and we know which sstables are repaired, we can optimize the read path by having a REPAIRED_QUORUM which breaks reads into two phases:
>  
>   1) Read from one replica the result from the repaired sstables. 
>   2) Read from a quorum only the un-repaired data.
> For the node performing 1) we can pipeline the call so it's a single hop.
> In the long run (assuming data is repaired regularly) we will end up with much closer to CL.ONE performance while maintaining consistency.
> Some things to figure out:
>   - If repairs fail on some nodes we can have a situation where we don't have a consistent repaired state across the replicas.
