We try not to use namespaces in the read options to keep them simple. This one is a bit odd because `ignore-deletes` could be misinterpreted easily -- we don't want anyone to think they can read a table without applying delete files, for example. So I want to make it clear that this is streaming and that this not delete files. The best I'm coming up with is `skip-delete-snapshots`, which is clear that it is referring to snapshot operations. I don't think it would be misinterpreted if it were used in a batch context since it wouldn't make sense to run a select that doesn't do anything if the latest snapshot is a delete. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
