Description

Often as part of backup people store entire data directory. When they see some corruption in data then they would like to restore data in same cluster (for large clusters 200 nodes) but with different keyspace name.
Currently sstableloader uses parent folder as keyspace, it would be nice to have an option to specify target keyspace name as part of sstableloader
