### Is this a possible security vulnerability? - [X] This is NOT a possible security vulnerability ### Describe the bug When dropTable is called with `purgeRequested`, the Polaris server will create `Task`s in order to delete data files associated with the table being dropped. However, if the service dies before the tasks are completed they may not resume gracefully on startup. Some of that table's data files may not be cleaned up. ### To Reproduce Call `dropTable` with `purgeRequested`, and kill the Polaris service before the relevant `Task`s complete. ### Actual Behavior `Task`s are not resumed on startup ### Expected Behavior `Task`s associated with a purge should reliably complete, or the user should be made aware that they cannot be completed ### Additional context I've met with @collado-mike and others to discuss a long-term solution here, but it may take some time. In the interim, we discussed some workarounds and stopgaps. ### System information n/a -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
