hey guys, I'm trying to take backups of a multi-node cassandra and save them on 
S3. 
My idea is simply doing ssh to each server and use nodetool to create the 
snapshots then push then to S3. 

So is this approach recommended? my concerns are about inconsistencies that 
this approach can lead, since the snapshots are taken one by one and not in 
parallel.  
Should i worry about it or cassandra finds a way to deal with inconsistencies 
when doing a restore?

PS: I'm aware that datastax recommends to use pssh to take snapshots in 
parallel, but i couldn't use pssh because node tool requires you to specify the 
hostname.
nodetool -h 10.10.10.1 snapshot thissnapshotname

Any help would be appreciated.
