Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3453:
---------------------------------------------
bq. you also need to have it per data_dir since those could be on different
volumes, and hard links won't work cross-volume.
With CASSANDRA-2749 landing soon I too don't see how this can provide any value.

> cassandra.yaml really needs a config option for a snapshot directory. by
> default it should be a peer folder with saved_caches, commitlog and data.
> assuming the value of that setting is /some/path/snapshot_dir then snapshots
> would go into: /some/path/snapshot_dir/snapshot_name/keyspace_name/
> this makes automation, particularly around backups, much easier and gives
> more control to ops
