Is this snapshot cloning? If so, thanks very much for publishing it! :)
If not, I'm really curious as to what it is :)
On the subject of snapshot cloning, I can see, at least in broad brush
strokes, how this would work for read queries, but I'm curious how (or
if) it could work for writes like, for example, updates of many
partitions at once. Could it?
Cheers,
David.
