   @CodingCat, I agree with @kbendick that the right way to do this is to add metadata to the snapshot so that you can identify it later. Also, if you already have an operation that is going to commit a snapshot (a `SnapshotProducer`) then you can use `apply` to write the changes and return the uncommitted snapshot. Here's an example:
   
   ```java
   AppendFiles append = table.newAppend()
   ...
   long snapshotId = append.apply().snapshotId();
   append.commit();
   ```
