Patch looks very good, @akshita-malhotra. What's the advantage, @lhofhansl,
of forcing users to create the snapshot themselves before starting the job?
Wouldn't it be simpler for the snapshot to be created during the
setup/initialization of the MR job? In the non MR case, when we want to support
running arbitrary queries over snapshot(s), seems like we'd want Phoenix to
create them, no? Otherwise, we'd need to provide the user with some means of
associating a snapshot with a table name (which might get cumbersome). The
alternative is to let Phoenix manage this transparently.
