> When creating a hard link (at list with JNA), link() hang if the target of the
> link already exists. In theory though, we should not hit that situation
> because we use a new directory for each manual snapshot and the generation
> number of the sstables should prevent this from hapenning with increment
> snapshot.
> However, when you drop, then recreate a secondary index, if the sstables are
> deleted after the drop and before we recreate the index, the recreated index
> sstables will start with a generation to 0. Thus, when we start backuping them
> incrementally, it will conflict with the sstables of the previously dropped
> index.
> First, we should check for the target existance because calling link() to at
> least avoid hanging. But then we must make sure that when we drop, then
> recreate an index, we will either not name the sstables the same way or the
> incremental snapshot use a different directory.
