Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2264:
-------------------------------------------
Why do we need to store additional metadata? ISTM that "restore from snapshot"
should just be "make the snapshotted sstables live."
> Restore From Snapshot eg: nodetool restore [filename] | ([keyspace]
> [columnfamily])
