Description

The io.Streaming API currently requires a file on disk to stream, which means that bootstrap and repairs need to perform an anti-compaction that writes a bunch of data to disk, only to have it be deleted after the streaming has finished.

EDIT: Deleted reference to using streaming as a client API: it wouldn't provide enough benefit over using the BMT interface, due to fragility.
