> Currently {{commitIdentifier}} in {{Snapshot}} is a {{String}} value. However there are many scenarios where we need to compare two identifiers to find out which one is newer. For example
> * In FLINK-29840, we need to store the latest modified commit for each writer. Only when the latest snapshot is newer than this commit can we safely close the writer.
> * In FLINK-29805, we can read the commit identifier of the latest snapshot. All identifiers older than that should be filtered out.
> * In FLINK-29752, we need to trigger full compaction once in a few commits. We can read the latest commit identifier and compare it with the full compaction identifier to check if full compaction is successfully committed.
