   > I like to leverage Git for something like this. Most of everything you have to do is implemented as far as saving storage space and getting an object graph
   
   Using git for operational purposes is useful in some situations, but I am not sure about this one.  A snapshot as outlined in this design is a tree of files in HDFS.  There is a root file with all of the pointers to other files.   The nodes of the tree are immutable, so in that sense git becomes less useful.  Also having some of the nodes of the tree in git and others in hdfs seems like it would increase administrative management overhead.  The data size of the tree could be very large, so it would not make sense to put the entire tree in git.
