Hi All,
:bangbang:  Occasionally, we are hitting a critical issue of missing Iceberg metadata files while querying over Iceberg tables. on SR version `4.0.0-dccb665`
Tables written and maintained by Spark jobs.
```[2025-11-16 14:55:58] [42000][1064] File does not exist: <hdfs://name-node/production_iceberg/schema/table/metadata/snap-3580396311616548181-1-1d87b430-2cb2-4cec-96eb-4d2f24f04537.avro>```
We don't experience such issue when we query the same tables from Spark or StarRocks with version `3.4.3-a01aa59`
Does anyone have an idea how to recover from this or hack this ?

Thank to <@U08RW9APUSF>,
We think the issue is mentioned <https://starrocks.slack.com/archives/C02FACZSNJV/p1737157883030129|here> and <https://starrocks.slack.com/archives/C02FACZSNJV/p1735817209258979|here> and was fixed for HADOOP catalog with the following comment in the end :slightly_smiling_face:
&gt; The current fix only addresses the problem for the Hadoop catalog, but a similar issue might occur with the Glue catalog as well.
Not sure why its working without any issues on `3.4.3`
