Review Comment:
Yes, that's a great suggestion. I was also looking into that, but there are
two caveats:
- Before computing all the manifests, we don't know if they are empty. The
delete manifests are lazily computed, so making sure that we short-circuit
earlier in the process, makes sure that we don't do all the work.
- There is also a behavioral aspect around it, for example, when you do
`tbl.append(df)` where `df` is empty, or `tbl.delete('x = 10')`, you may still
want to produce a snapshot to indicate that something happened. My opinion is
that it should result in a no-op, but Java creates a snapshot:
I believe @sungwy and I had a similar discussion.
