   I had a look at this and I think I understand what's going on here. Isn't the problem the query itself that we're trying to do?
   In  `sql("SELECT * from %s.files VERSION AS OF %s", tableName, olderSnapshotId )` we're trying to do time-travel on the `FilesTable` but giving it the snapshot ID of the actual table, since `olderSnapshotId` is the snapshot from `tableName`. 
   The error therefore makes sense to me, since the schema of the `FilesTable` didn't evolve, but we're expecting it to return the schema for `olderSnapshotId`.
