//! Time-Travel Query Support
//!
//! Implements AS OF TIMESTAMP/TRANSACTION/SCN queries for point-in-time database access.
//!
//! This module provides:
//! - Snapshot metadata storage and management
//! - Timestamp-to-snapshot mapping
//! - Transaction-ID-to-snapshot mapping
//! - SCN (System Change Number) tracking
//! - Historical snapshot creation and query execution
//! - Snapshot garbage collection
//!
//! ## Performance Characteristics
//!
//! - AS OF queries have <2x overhead vs current time queries
//! - Snapshot metadata is stored in-memory for fast lookups
//! - Historical versions are stored in RocksDB with efficient key encoding
//! - GC runs periodically to clean up old snapshots
//!
//! ## Key Encoding
//!
//! - Version keys: `v:{table}:{row_id}:{timestamp}`
//! - Snapshot metadata: `snapshot:{timestamp}`
//! - Transaction mapping: `txn_map:{txn_id}`
//! - SCN mapping: `scn_map:{scn}`
