   Yeah this is a common case that I also see many people trying to achieve through Iceberg. 
   
   For exposing to Spark and Hive, would view help? We can create "snapshot view" for people to query, for example:
   
   ```sql
   CREATE VIEW my_table_2020 AS SELECT * FROM my_table@1234567890;
   ```
   
   Then dropping the view would not affect anything of the underlying snapshot.
