Why can't we use the same concept of
SnapBuildDistributeNewCatalogSnapshot(), I mean we keep queuing the
non-transactional changes (have some base snapshot before the first
change), and whenever there is any catalog change, queue new snapshot
change also in the queue of the non-transactional sequence change so
that while sending it to downstream whenever it is necessary we will
change the historic snapshot?
