Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-7362:
-------------------------------------------
Note that this requires 7190 or it will be very easy to mount snapshots that no
longer match the current schema.
> Be able to selectively "mount" a snapshot of a table as a read-only version
> of that table

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7362
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core, Tools

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0

>
> When doing batch jobs (thinking hive and shark as prominent examples) or
> repeated analysis of the same data, it can be challenging to get a consistent
> result if the data is changing under your feet. Rather than the low level
> CASSANDRA-2527, I propose that we add the capability to take a named snapshot
> (exact uuid in 2.1 and later), and be able to activate and deactivate it as
> a regular sstable (e.g. myks.mytable snapshot could be activated as
> myks.mytable-longuuid). That table would be queryable just like any other,
> but would not be writable. Any attempt to insert or update would throw an
> exception.
