 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
+
+Iceberg tables keep track of branches and tags using snapshot references. 
+Tags are labels for individual snapshots. Branches are mutable named 
references that can be updated by committing a new snapshot as the branch's 
referenced snapshot using the [Commit Conflict Resolution and 
Retry](#commit-conflict-resolution-and-retry) procedures.
+
+The snapshot reference object records all the information of a reference 
including snapshot ID, reference type and [Snapshot Retention 
Policy](#snapshot-retention-policy).
+
+| v2         | Field name                   | Type      | Description |
+| ---------- |------------------------------|-----------|-------------|
+| _required_ | **`snapshot-id`**            | `long`    | The ID of the 
snapshot referenced |
