   Context on where the throw came from, since the description above calls 
overlapping references legitimate and that is not how it was settled in #18098.
   
   I raised overlapping ranges on the original reader in 
https://github.com/apache/hudi/pull/18098#discussion_r3021340022 and asked for 
a test in https://github.com/apache/hudi/pull/18098#discussion_r3021419273. 
@the-other-tim-brown's position was that a blob is a distinct entity, so 
overlapping ranges imply corruption and the reader should throw. Commit 
a00dcfff0237 added the `Overlapping blob ranges detected` check in response. 
The throw was deliberate, not a leftover.
   
   Two things argue for dropping it anyway:
   
   1. The check fires on `row.offset < currentEndOffset`, which also catches 
two rows carrying the identical descriptor, not only partial overlaps. That 
case is ordinary: a join with fan-out (`SELECT ..., read_blob(b.payload) FROM 
blobs b JOIN events e ON b.id = e.blob_id`) lands the N matching rows for one 
blob in the same task, since the batched read wraps the join output with no 
shuffle of its own, and insert/bulk_insert do not dedupe by default. Neither is 
corruption under the #18098 model.
   2. Whether the check fires depends on which rows share a task, so it cannot 
act as a corruption guard either way. The Lance test from #18575 has carried an 
overlap since April and only failed when #19906 changed the partition count.
   
   Tim, does the distinct-entity invariant still need enforcing? If so, could 
it live at write time, validating descriptors as they are written, rather than 
in the batched reader? #19913 removes the read-side check on the grounds above.
