The Repair Service must be off to enter a completion value. Enter a value for Time to completion field if your environment requires adjusting the value estimated by the Repair Service.
Typically, you should set the Time to Completion to a value lower than the lowest grace seconds before garbage collection setting (
gc_grace_seconds) on your tables. The default forgc_grace_secondsis 10 days (864000 seconds). OpsCenter provides an estimate by checkinggc_grace_secondsacross all tables and calculating 90% of the lowest value. The default estimate for the time to completion based on the typical grace seconds default is 9 days. For more information about configuring grace seconds, see gc_grace_seconds in the CQL documentation.The frequency of repair cycles during the time to completion is controlled by the
time_to_completion_target_percentageoption. For more information, see Adjusting or disabling the throttle for subrange repairs. -
