   @yittg this proposal is after the discussion with Ryan. The original plan 
was to provide an overloaded `appendsBetween` with `long` and `Long`. But 
during implementation, I found that overload caused compiling error as I 
mentioned in one of the comments. So I have to rename the new method to 
`appendsInRange`, which is not as good a name as `appendsBetween`. This PR is 
actually relatively small change even though it touched many files.
   
   Regarding special value, I am not sure if there is a special invalid 
snapshot id that Iceberg defines in the table format spec. The only special 
value is `null`. E.g., the earliest snapshot has `parent-snapshot-id` as null.
