Review Comment:
   > curious why it is critical to take snapshot first? The states of those 
particular keys will be gone in the next snapshot, and would that cause issue?
   
   I don't see this as a very strict requirement, but let's consider the 
scenario where we reverse the order and the _metadataTTL logic removes keys 
older than the TTL window. If a server restart occurs before snapshotting, the 
addSegment flow will not find a snapshot for an out-of-TTL segment and will 
consider all records as valid for querying. However, some records may have had 
updates and should not be served from this out-of-TTL segment. The snapshot 
logic helps prevent this issue. This is my understanding from the code, but 
@deemoliu can confirm.
