Document how use "deletedFileRetentionDuration"

[thomasfrederikhoeck]

Description

The vacuum command mentions "configuration.deletedFileRetentionDuration" but it is not really clear how to set it. https://delta-io.github.io/delta-rs/api/delta_table/#deltalake.DeltaTable.vacuum . In general it seems like the docs on configuration are a little sparse :-)

Use Case

Change the delta table to have a longer rention.

@thomasfrederikhoeck this should help: https://docs.delta.io/latest/table-properties.html

@ion-elgreco Thank you. I still think it would be nice to have this in the documentation. I can make a PR. Is it possible only to set the configurations when you create the table in delta-rs or is it also possible to change it afterwards?

[ion-elgreco]

@thomasfrederikhoeck If you can do that, that would be nice :) Thanks!

I have a PR open to set table properties afterwards as well:

#2264

[thomasfrederikhoeck]

@ion-elgreco ah nice! I will do the docs-PR when that is merged then.

[ion-elgreco]

@thomasfrederikhoeck did we already document this?

[thomasfrederikhoeck]

@ion-elgreco nope. I totally forgot it while waiting for the #2264 - sry :-)
