Review Comment:
Thanks @advancedxy ! I'm in favor of the client side API option for now,
just had a comment on the name of it.
I think there's an important discussion to be had on how REST servers can
indicate to clients the specific supported update types, this can either be
done through config endpoint or through the existing endpoints discovery
mechanism where each update type is attached as a query fragment to the
endpoint and clients just use that.
My opinion is that it's not worth blocking this on a REST protocol
discussion since we can always just come back and deprecate this client side
option and have it run as part of the default procedure implementation.

Review Comment:
+1, in the context of a TableMetadata builder, I think the right name is
`removeSpecs` or `removeSpecIds`. Whether it's unused or not is irrelevant for
the purpose of the TableMetadata builder API

Review Comment:
I'd prefer to use the full `metadata` word, especially in a public API, we
don't really get much from an abbreviation.
`cleanExpiredMetadata`
