Another +1 for the loading behavior being atomic. I think we should retry
as well, and be sure the number of retry attempts is configurable.

For large metastores it might be useful to have a flag to change the fail
vs log error behavior, but that can also be accomplished by just disabling
the plugin. Maybe useful for debugging?

Thanks,
Lenni
