> Snapshots have a lifecycle that is independent from the table from which they
> are created. Although data in a table may be stored with TTL the data files
> containing them become frozen by the snapshot. Space consumed by expired
> cells will not be reclaimed by normal table housekeeping like compaction.
> While this is expected it can be inconvenient at scale. When many snapshots
> are under management and the data in various tables is expired by TTL some
> notion of optional TTL (and optional default TTL) for snapshots could be
> useful. It will help prevent the accumulation of junk files by automatically
> dropping the snapshot after the assigned TTL, making their data files
> eligible for cleaning. More comprehensive snapshot lifecycle management may
> be considered in the future but this one case is expected to be immediately
> useful given TTls on data are commonly applied for similar convenience.
