There is an method "expire" which just returns the dataset of files that
would be removed without removing files if you like, but if you just want to
remove snapshots without cleaning files it should be essentially the same as
the table API. The big difference in Table and Action implementations is in
identifying which files need to be cleaned.
/**
* Expires snapshots and commits the changes to the table, returning a
Dataset of files to delete.
* <p>
* This does not delete data files. To delete data files, run {@link
#execute()}.
* <p>
* This may be called before or after {@link #execute()} is called to
return the expired file list.
*
* @return a Dataset of files that are no longer referenced by the table
*/
