Description

For ADD PARTITION operations, the AddPartitionEvent does not care if the RawStore commit succeeded or not. This means that an AddPartitionEvent with status=true is fired even if the the actual ADD PARTITION operation failed. This will confuse any AddPartitionEvent listeners.

Other MetastoreListenerEvents like CreateTableEvent correctly incorporate the status of the RawStore commit. Only AddPartitionEvent has this problem.
