rdblue opened a new issue #34: Add operation details to snapshots
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-iceberg/issues/34
 
 
   Snapshots that are append-only can be aged off more aggressively than deletes because all data files must be tracked in the next snapshot. Adding an operation type and a summary to snapshot metadata would enable improvements to metadata cleanup operations.
   
   Another idea from @julienledem:
   > another interesting operation: new snapshot that contain the same data as the previous one (for example compaction)
