Hi Jacek, Thanks for taking the lead on this.
There was importing of SSTables introduced in 4.0 via StorageService#importNewSSTables. The "problem" with this is that SSTables need to be physically located at disk so Cassandra can read them. If a backup is taken and SSTables are uploaded to, for example, S3 bucket, then upon restore, all these SSTables need to be downloaded first and then imported. What about downloading them / importing them directly from S3? Or any custom source for that matter? Importing of SSTables is a very nice feature in 4.0, we do not need to copy / hard link / refresh, it is all handled internally. I am not sure if your work is related to this idea but I would appreciate it if this is pluggable as well for the sake of simplicity and effectiveness as we would not have to download all sstables before importing them. If it is not related, feel free to skip that completely and I guess I would have to try to push that forward myself.
