   > I don't understand why we need to truncate a file before deleting an 
unnecessary file. Therefore, I also want to add a boolean arg to the 
revertPartialWritesAndClose method to control whether to do truncate operation.
   
   This's a known issue. You're right. It doesn't make sense to truncate the 
file since we'll delete the file anyway. It's probably due to the historical 
reason. But I don't like the idea to add a parameter to control the truncate 
operation. I don't think there's a valid case that we want "truncate" indeed. 
Do we? I think this's actually a separate issue beyond what this PR was trying 
to fix at the beginning. But I'm OK if you'd like to refactor the 
`revertPartialWritesAndClose` and fix both issues together.
