Thanks for the feedback [~slebresne]. I forgot to mention another requirement I have: I need to control the level at which a SSTable is created. 
How would you feel about having a SSTableWriter creation strategy? Something like this:

{quote}
public interface SSTableWriterCreationStrategy {
  SSTableWriter createWriter(File directory, CFMetaData metadata);
} 
{quote}

I submitted a patch with more details.

> I've created a patch for your consideration. 
> This change to CQLSSTableWriter allows for a custom AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter to be specified. 
> I needed this for a bulkload process I wrote. I believe the change would be beneficial for other people as well. 
> Below are the reasons I needed a custom implementation of AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter:
> 1) The available implementations of AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter do not provide a way to specify the filename (or rather revision) of the sstable. I needed to control the name because my bulkload process write sstables in parallel (on multiple machines) and I wish to avoid name collisions.
> 2) I discovered a problem with SSTableSimpleUnsortedWriter where it creates invalid level-compaction-style sstables; It allows a partition to span 2 sstables which violates the "no overlap of token ranges" constraint of level compaction.
