Review comment:
       Good question!  Besides converting to position deletes we could split 
equality delete into small ones so that each file scan can carry small equality 
deletes as Jack mentioned before. But as you pointed out, I think it would be 
hard to handle the sequence number since the committed snapshot should be 
immutable.  Can we do the trick?
   
   I'm not sure how much benefit that splitting can provide, but I believe 
small files bring worse problems.  How about we make `rewriteDeletes` more 
specific? Like `removeEqDeletes` and `rewritePosDeletes`.
