Review comment:
       > What does this return if there is no partition?
   
   It will return `BaseFile.EMPTY_PARTITION_DATA`, see changes to 
`StaticDataTask.java` for example.
   
   > I think that we should consider adding a struct type that describes this 
tuple. That way, we can use an empty struct for unpartitioned and a non-empty 
struct for tasks that are combined by partition. We could also support more 
combinations, like combining across day partitions by not across bucket 
partitions or similar.
   
   Hmm isn't `spec()` above designed for this purpose?
