Review Comment:
   My main concern before was within a single subtask, rather than across 
different subtasks. I felt changing the schema or spec while the file is being 
written could potentially lead to problems down the road, where the refresh 
isn't done in a deterministic way.
   
   Even using a broadcast or token delegation framework, you could still cache 
and refresh in the supplier only at given times in the supplier for those. And 
before the latest change, no public APIs were changed.
   
   Either way,  implementing schema evolution is going to require additional 
changes, so the current PR will be fine to refresh the FileIO and how the 
refresh occurs can be updated as needed when schema evolution is added.
