[X] I searched in the issues and found nothing similar.
Motivation
Currently, there is no system table in paimon which store partition related information. Especially in partition expiration scenario, those expired partitions are logically deleted without delete partition folder physically. User does NOT know which partitions are retained and can be queried.
By supporting T$partitions system table, user can fire the following sql to query them out: select * from T$partitions
