# Rationale for this change
Currently, the documentation of these write functions contains some
inaccuracies regarding snapshot operations. These update methods do not
actually produce `replace` snapshots, but rather `overwrite` snapshots, because
the rewrite here modifies the data (dropping the records that match the
overwrite filter).
A `replace` snapshot is only generated when the table data itself is not
changed, such as during data file rewrites or manifest rewrites.
