Iceberg cannot have partitions without data files. Either there is a file
which has a tuple for a partition or not. If there is no file entry then the
partition cannot be empty. This is why I asked if you checked the "files"
metadata table. If the Files metadata table has no tuples of {data: a} then
there is not partition data = a.
Now you can have a partition with no rows, this would happen if you have a
file for {data:a} but also have delete files which negate all rows in that
partition. The partitions metadata table does not look at delete files.
