missing files, both

the table, and commits
+ * that snapshot as the current.
+ *
+ * <p>When committing, these changes will be applied to the latest table 
snapshot. Commit conflicts
+ * will be resolved by applying the changes to the new latest snapshot and 
reattempting the commit.

Review Comment:
   This does not validate if the files to be removed exist in storage; it 
validates that they exist in the current metadata. It does make sense to call 
this.
