   As a Hive user I would hate if I have to handle Type 2 errors. Is this rare enough to leave unhandled?
   
   Just brainstorming:
   - If we want to avoid this situation we can acquire a shared lock for getting the snapshot as well. This would mean that during the swap operation we should wait until the write operation is either finished successfully or failed. Since ideally both swap and getting the snapshot is a very short operation this should not cause too much trouble.
