   > As for the getLatestSnapshotAsync method, I don't quite understand its use 
case.
   
   It provides a consistency view. For example, let's assume there are two keys 
that represents x and y that satisfy `y = x * 2` (just an example). The change 
might be:
   - x: 0, 1, 3, 7, ...
   - y: 0, 2, 6, 14, ...
   
   With `refreshAsync`, you might call:
   
   ```java
   view.refreshAsync().thenAccept(__ -> { // now, x = 3 and y = 6
       int x = view.get("x"); // x = 3
       int y = view.get("y"); // y = 14, actually, at the moment, view.get("x") 
is 7
       // If users want to process x and y here, they might find the difference 
is unexpected large
   ```
   
   With `getLatestSnapshotAsync()` method, you can write:
   
   ```java
   view.getLatestSnapshotAsync().thenAccept(snapshot -> {
       int x = snapshot.get("x"); // x = 3, view.get("x") = 3, view.get("y") = 6
       int y = snapshot.get("y"); // y = 6, even if now view.get("y") is 14
   });
   ```
