   > this is by-design
   
   Thanks for the clarification. To make sure I understand the intended 
behavior correctly: when `hoodie.fail.on.timeline.archiving=false`, is a 
per-instant metadata conversion failure intentionally skipped so that archival 
can continue, even though the corresponding active instant may subsequently be 
deleted without an archived entry?
   
   If the intended requirement is primarily to avoid a permanently unparseable 
instant blocking archival, would writing a metadata-less placeholder for that 
instant—similar to the existing empty-instant handling—preserve the intended 
progress semantics while avoiding a missing archived entry? Writer open, 
append, close, or sync failures would still abort the batch and retain all 
active instants.
