Cassandra reaper - should I repair also reapers database?

Viewed 168

So I have installed cassandra-reaper, and I have setup schedules for every Wednesday to repair my projects db. I'm just wondering if there is any need to schedule also a repair for the cassandra-reapers database, which was created?

I think, No because Reaper is just UI to schedule and manage Cassandra cluster. It improves the existing nodetool repair process by

Splitting repair jobs into smaller tunable segments. Handling back-pressure through monitoring running repairs and pending compaction. Adding ability to pause or cancel repairs and track progress precisely. Reaper ships with a REST API, a command line tool and a web UI.
