Description

For some practical scenarios, it doesn't matter if the data is flushed to disk before taking a snapshot. However, it's better to save some flushing time to make snapshot process quick.

As such, it will be a good idea to provide this option to snapshot command. The wiring from nodetool to MBean to VerbHandler should be easy.

I can provide a patch if this makes sense.
