Review Comment:
   @rdblue I marked the `toSnapshot` as required. basically, we will not 
support the use case of old `TableScan#appendsAfter`. The reason is that 
incremental scan typically need to track the last end position of the 
incremental scan. Then the last position will be used as the from position in 
the next (exclusive). Hence, I think the `TableScan#appendsAfter` is probably 
not a valid use case.
