> IMPALA-12487 adds an optimization that if an ALTER_TABLE event has trivial 
> changes in StorageDescriptor (e.g. removing optional field 
> 'storedAsSubDirectories'=false which defaults to false), file metadata reload 
> will be skipped, no matter what changes are in the table properties 
> (parameters):
> {code:java}
>       boolean skipFileMetadata = false;
>       if (isFieldSchemaChanged(beforeTable, afterTable) ||
>           isTableOwnerChanged(beforeTable.getOwner(), afterTable.getOwner())) 
> {
>         skipFileMetadata = true;
>       } else if (!Objects.equals(beforeTable.getSd(), afterTable.getSd())) {
>         if (isTrivialSdPropsChanged(beforeTable.getSd(), afterTable.getSd())) 
> {
>           skipFileMetadata = true;
>         }
>       } else if (!isCustomTblPropsChanged(whitelistedTblProperties, 
> beforeTable,
>           afterTable)) {
>         skipFileMetadata = true;
>       }
>       return skipFileMetadata;{code}

> This is problematic since some HMS clients (e.g. Spark) could modify both the 
> table properties and StorageDescriptor. If there is a non-trivial changes in 
> table properties (e.g. 'location' change), we shouldn't skip reloading file 
> metadata.
