Nick Bailey commented on CASSANDRA-10907:
-----------------------------------------
Just wondering what scenarios skipping flushing makes sense. It seems like any
scenario there would be covered by the incremental backup option which
hardlinks every sstable as its flushed.
> Nodetool snapshot should provide an option to skip flushing

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Configuration
> Environment: PROD
> Reporter: Anubhav Kale
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: lhf
>
> For some practical scenarios, it doesn't matter if the data is flushed to
> disk before taking a snapshot. However, it's better to save some flushing
> time to make snapshot process quick.
> As such, it will be a good idea to provide this option to snapshot command.
> The wiring from nodetool to MBean to VerbHandler should be easy.
> I can provide a patch if this makes sense.
