1. An alternative, *strict projection*, creates a partition predicate that
will match a file if all of the rows in the file must match the scan predicate.
These projections are used to calculate the residual predicates for each file
in a scan.
2. For example, if `file_a` has rows with `id` between 1 and 10 and a delete
file contains rows with `id` between 1 and 4, a scan for `id = 9` may ignore
the delete file because none of the deletes can match a row that will be
selected.
+#### Snapshot Reference
+
+Snapshot reference allows users to perform tagging and branching within an
Iceberg table. The detailed user experience is described in [Iceberg Tagging
and Branching](../snapshot-tag-branch).
+
+The snapshot reference object records all the user-defined information of a
snapshot including name, reference type and retention policy configurations.
