Resolves #2673
Rationale for this change
_SnapshotProducer._summary()copies the metadata for every added / deleted DataFile. This is pretty expensive. Instead we just copy it once at the beginning of the function and use the same value each DataFile.On my data, which overwrites a few million rows at a time, I saw the time for
table.overwritego from ~20 seconds to ~6 seconds.Are these changes tested?
Yes, existing unit / integration tests
Are there any user-facing changes?
Just faster writes :)
