   > @syun64 I'm all for it if it works, but I see a lot of issues with 
inferring it from the Hive path.
   
   Yeah. I don't personally need migration procedures to add files from Hive 
tables, but I am aware of various teams and community members that want this 
sort of feature to migrate to Iceberg from Hive without having to rewrite all 
of their files.
   
   I do think that partition inference from partition path is more complicated 
and has more gotchas that need to be discussed at length than the more accurate 
approach based on the partition metadata. I will pull that feature out and put 
together a follow up PR that only introduces file addition to partitioned 
tables using the _lower and upper bounds of the partition column in the 
partition metadata_.
