> In our first snapshot implementation, snapshot creation runs in O(N) and
> occupies O(N) memory space, where N = # files + # directories + # symlinks in
> the snapshot. The advantages of the implementation are that there is no
> additional cost for the modifications after snapshots are created, and it
> leads to a simple implementation.
> In this JIRA, we optimize snapshot creation to O(1) although it introduces
> additional cost in the modifications after snapshots are created. Note that
> the INode is given as an assumption, otherwise, there is a non-constant cost
> to find the INode.
