Is there a way i can take snapshot of a table in prod and load it test cluster. The cassandra versions are same. Even if there is a tool that can help with this it will be great. If not, how do people handle scenarios where data in prod is required in staging/test clusters for testing to make sure things are correct ? Does the cluster size have to be same to allow copying of relevant snapshot data etc? thanks anishek
