### Describe the issue this PR addresses Closes #15126 / [HUDI-3880](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-3880). `HoodieMetadataTableValidator` throws as soon as the partition list from the file system and the partition list from the metadata table disagree: ```java if (misMatch.get()) { String message = "Compare Partitions Failed! ..."; log.error(message); throw new HoodieValidationException(message); } ``` This happens in `validatePartitions(...)`, before the caller gets a chance to run `validateFilesInPartition(...)` for any partition. So when the lists differ by a single partition, the run reports only that the lists differ and says nothing about whether the file listings for the other partitions are consistent. An operator triaging a validation failure has to fix the partition-level difference and re-run before learning whether anything else is wrong. Most of the original ticket has already landed — the validator now forgives extra file-system partitions that are empty, and metadata-table partitions belonging to a commit newer than the one being validated. The remaining gap is this one: no file listings are compared for the partitions the two sides *do* agree on. ### Summary and changelog - `validatePartitions(...)` now takes `baseFilesForCleaning` so it can run the same per-partition file validation the caller does. - On a genuine mismatch, the intersection of the two partition lists is computed and `validateFilesInPartition(...)` is run for each partition in it. The result is appended to the exception message. - The partition mismatch remains the reported cause and the validator still fails. The added comparison is supplementary, so if it cannot run — for example the metadata validation context fails to open — that is logged and noted in the message rather than allowed to mask the original mismatch. - When the lists are disjoint the message says so explicitly, so the output never implies something was checked when it was not. Example of the new output, from the end-to-end test (one partition removed from the file system, the other two untouched): ``` Compare Partitions Failed! Additional 0 partitions from FS, but missing from MDT : "" and additional 1 partitions from MDT, but missing from FS listing : "2015/03/16". All 2 partitions from FS listing 2016/03/15,2015/03/17 File listings match for all 2 partitions common to FS listing and MDT. ``` ### Impact Validator-only. No change to the write or read path, and no change to whether a validation run passes or fails — only to how much a failing run tells you. The extra work is a per-partition file comparison that runs solely on the failure path, over the intersection of the two partition lists. ### Risk level low ### Documentation Update None required — no configuration or public API change. ### Contributor's checklist - [x] Read through [contributor's guide](https://hudi.apache.org/contribute/how-to-contribute) - [x] Change Logs and Impact were stated clearly - [x] Adequate tests were added if applicable - [x] CI passed -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
