Hello,

I have few questions regarding restoring the data from snapshots using
sstableloader.

If i have a 6 node cassandra cluster with VNODEs(256) and I have taken
snapshot of all 6 nodes and if I have to restore to another cluster

1. Does the target cluster have to be of the same size?
2. If 1 is true, does SSTableloader have to use  each snapshot from the
source cluster and map to the target nodes?
source1 -> target1
source2 -> target2
source3 -> target3
source4 -> target4
source5 -> target5
source6 -> target6
3.  if 1 is false, do I need to run sstableloader for all the 6 snapshots
from source in 3 nodes in target?
4. Can I have a different schema(only keyspace name) between source and
target clusters?
eg: keyspace1 in source cluster but keyspace2 in target

Thanks in advance.
