[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-7362) Be able to selectively "mount" a
snapshot of a table as a read-only version of that table
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7362?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Tupshin Harper updated CASSANDRA-7362:
--------------------------------------
Description: 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 CASSSANDRA-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.
