Description

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?

Implement an ExpireSnapshotsAction with similar configuration options and outputs to the Spark expire snapshots procedure. Part of #1453.

Describe the solution you'd like

An expire snapshots action that takes the following inputs:

  • older_than_ms: A timestamp in milliseconds, specifying the retention window for snapshots
  • retain_last: Minimum number of snapshots to retain
  • max_concurrent_deletes: Maximum number of concurrent file deletions
  • snapshot_ids: A specific list of snapshot IDs to expire
  • dry_run: A flag allowing a preview of snapshot expiry

It is important that this action both write a new metadata version with snapshots expired, and followup and delete any now-unreferenced files. This will keep both the latest metadata and the metadata directory clean.
