Review Comment:
   I think this can be abstracted into `IncrementalScan`, because not only 
append-only, changelog incremental scan also needs to specify `from` and `to` 
snapshots. We can define the `IncrementalScan` interface, and then return 
different concrete implementations in `Table` through different methods, for 
example:
   
   ````
   public interface IncrementalScan extends Scan<IncrementalScan> {...}
   
   abstract class BaseIncrementalScan implements IncrementalScan {...}
   public class AppendOnlyIncrementalScan extends BaseIncrementalScan {...}
   public class ChangelogIncrementalScan extends BaseIncrementalScan {...}
   
   public interface Table {
      ...
     IncrementalScan newAppendIncrementalScan();
     IncrementalScan newChangelogIncrementalScan();
     ...
   }
   ````
