   This is a minor clarification to be clear that the following fields in 
snapshot summaries refer to the physical layout (i.e. records in data and 
delete files) rather than logical records (i.e. active records, that should be 
considered to be valid to return in queries).
   
   It was unclear to me when implementing a compaction algorithm what the 
values referred to. I have reviewed the Java implementation to confirm that 
these fields - at least in Java - refer to the physical layout: 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/main/core/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/SnapshotSummary.java#L322-L325.
   
   I acknowledge this is changing the specification (`format/` dir) - please 
let me know if there is a good way to proceed. I'm hoping this is a simple 
clarification.
