---------------------------------------------------------------

Checked the code in updatePartitionsFromHms() looks like there is little room 
of optimization here, skipping CREATE/RECREATE/DROP of a partition will cause 
inconsistency between HMS and catalog will result in failure of DML statements 
like INSERT, when used with SYNC_DDL option which requires underlying data and 
metadata changes to be propagated to all Impala nodes.

> Reloading file metadata for HDFS tables (e.g. as a final step in an 'insert') 
> is done via
> https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/branch-2.12.0/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/service/CatalogOpExecutor.java#L628
> , which calls
> https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/branch-2.12.0/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/catalog/HdfsTable.java#L1243
> HdfsTable.load has no option to only load file metadata. HMS metadata will 
> also be reloaded every time, which is an unnecessary overhead (and potential 
> point of failure) when adding files to existing locations.
