Description
### Search before asking
- [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/paimon/issues) and found nothing similar.
### Motivation
I want to implement incremental data reading of snapshots using the Java-API. I wrote a little bit myself, but I have a few questions to answer.
1. Can I only read the deltaManifest file of a snapshot of type APPEND?
2. If not, how should I handle a large amount of old data (INSERT) in a COMPACT type?
3. If possible, I would like to learn how Flink implements it(incremental-between), but I can't find any relevant documentation.

Research direction
Start with the Java API and the snapshot-reading behavior described in the issue, then compare APPEND and COMPACT snapshots and their deltaManifest files. Review how Flink handles incremental-between, if that implementation is available in the repository. Done means the supported approach for incremental reads and handling old INSERT data is documented clearly.
