Actually that's wrong, it is perfectly possible to restore a snapshot on a live cassandra cluster. There is even basically 2 solutions: 1) use the sstableloader (http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/bulk-loading) 2) copy the snapshot sstable in the right place and call the JMX method loadNewSSTables() (in the column family MBean, which mean you need to do that per-CF).
