Filter mechanisms are used to +select the files to be deleted (purged). + +There are implementations to identify the files referenced by a particular Iceberg table or view metadata, including +statistics files, manifest lists of all snapshots, the manifest files and the data/delete files. + +The file operations perform no effort to identify duplicates during the identification of files referenced by +a table or view metadata. +This means that, for example, a data file referenced in multiple manifest files will be returned twice. + +Purge operations are performed in one or multiple bulk delete operations. +The implementation takes care of not including the same file more than once within a single bulk delete operation. + +One alternative implementation purges all files within the base location of a table or view metadata.
