Description

This snapshot style just issues a region flush and then "snapshots" the region.

This is a simple implementation that gives the equivalent of copytable consistency. While by most definitions of consistency if a client writes A and then write B to different region servers, only neither, only A, or both A+B writes should be present, this one allows the only B case.
