Side-note: At least with 2.1 (or even later), be aware that you might run into the following issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11155
We are doing cron―job based hourly snapshots in production and have tried to also run cleanup after extending a cluster from 6 to 9 nodes. This resulted in snapshot creation getting stuck, so we gave up running cleanup (and reclaiming disk space) in favor of still having actual snapshots in place. We might find a time window where we disable snapshots, but cleanup may take while depending on the data volume, thus this would mean possibly disabling snapshots for many hours.
