Review comment:
       I think we can change it in the expire snapshots action now if we want as we are moving to v2 APIs. Whatever we decide to use there has to be consistent with this logic too.
   
   I am worried a bit about sending too many requests at the same time but not needing to bring any data to the driver may be worth it. Maybe, there can be a solution in between. Let me think about this for a while.
