Anubhav Kale commented on CASSANDRA-10907:
------------------------------------------
We plan to move backups outside the nodes. So, when a snapshot is taken it
would be ideal for it to be fast (thus not flush) so that it can be moved out
as quickly as possible. We have enough replication so we can tolerate the data
loss because the memtable wasn't flushed.
Do you feel strongly against it ?
> Nodetool snapshot should provide an option to skip flushing

> 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.
