In a distributed Cassandra database, information entropy can occur when replicas hold inconsistent data. During an anti-entropy repair session, how does Cassandra detect and resolve these inconsistencies most efficiently?

Question

Answer

By performing periodic global synchronization across all nodes regardless of data changes, ensuring uniformity of replicas.

Answer

By exchanging version numbers for each record and keeping the version with the smallest timestamp.

Answer

By comparing the full datasets of all replicas directly and replacing the entire data file if differences are found.

Answer

By exchanging Merkle trees (hash structures) between replicas, identifying differing branches, and synchronizing only the inconsistent data based on timestamps.
