I've created a patch for your consideration. 

This change to CQLSSTableWriter allows for a custom AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter 
to be specified. 

I needed this for a bulkload process I wrote. I believe the change would be 
beneficial for other people as well. 

Below are the reasons I needed a custom implementation of 
AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter:

1) The available implementations of AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter do not provide 
a way to specify the filename (or rather revision) of the sstable. I needed to 
control the name because my bulkload process write sstables in parallel (on 
multiple machines) and I wish to avoid name collisions.

2) I discovered a problem with SSTableSimpleUnsortedWriter where it creates 
invalid level-compaction-style sstables; It allows a partition to span 2 
sstables which violates the "no overlap of token ranges" constraint of level 
compaction.
