Review comment:
       Any reason we can't make this configurable so the client is forced to 
indicate if they are idempotent or not explicitly?
   
   For non idempotent clients we should keep the current behavior with limited 
and configurable retries to check if a snapshot was committed before issuing 
final snapshot deletion. If the client indicates they are idempotent we can 
avoid deleting and throw the exception as proposed in this PR.
