As of now, the snapshot are created in a sequential and blocking way in the datanode. This means that while a snapshot is being taken, no block can be processed.
The following approach is made:
The bottle neck here is that the results are being save on the fs as they arrive, which is unecessary and amount for 95% of the time spent snapshoting (and so blocking anything else).
To prevent this, we keep those results from the database in buffers, and only save them to file via a worker go routine.
