   The current snapshot is never dropped, but you're right that it is easy to 
drop lots of data doing this.
   
   We've thought about introducing table properties to default these. Seems 
like a good time to add them. I'm thinking some time interval for keeping 
snapshots (so expireOlderThan would default to `System.currentTimeMillis() - 
interval`) and some default number of snapshots to keep.
   
   @aokolnychyi, do you agree?
