> So, depending whether the user invalidates the table, they can see different results. The bug is in the following code.
> {noformat}
> private FileMetadataLoadStats resetAndLoadFileMetadata(
>       Path partDir, List<HdfsPartition> partitions) throws IOException {

> {noformat}
> We only update the added file metadata for the new partition (copy-on-write way). Instead we should update the source descriptors so that it is reflected in the other partitions too.
