The Repair Service performs repair operations across a DataStax Enterprise cluster in a minimally impactful manner. The Repair Service runs in the background, repairing small chunks of a cluster to alleviate the pressure and potential performance impact of having to periodically run repair on entire nodes.

The Repair Service cyclically repairs a DataStax Enterprise (DSE) cluster within the specified time to completion. Any anticipated overshoot of the targeted completion time is communicated with a revised estimate.
