> searching for "snapshot" in *.java shows a bunch of code for supporting 
> snapshots via hard links.
> (this works b/c SSTables are immutable, once created.)
> this used to be more complete but when we dropped the JDK7 requirement we 
> just removed the code that we couldn't do in JDK6 and hard link support was 
> one of those.
> So what you would need to do here is:
>  * create a hard link method (using Runtime.exec("ln") on linux / os x I 
> imagine)
>  * add a JMX hook to invoke this on the data files (this is where looking at 
> the old codebase might help); ColumnFamilyStoreMBean.forceFlush is an example 
> of an "Action" jmx interface. using jconsole to interact with JMX stuff is 
> explained here: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/MemtableThresholds
>  * add something to list the snapshots available via JMX
>  * optionally make this all per-Table instead of per-database
