AI Review

Summary

This PR decodes URI-encoded Delta log file paths before resolving data file locations, fixing DeltaLakeAzure reads for partition directories that contain encoded characters (for example %40). The change is small, focused, and covered by a dedicated integration test that reproduces the encoded-path scenario.

Hi — this PR may need backporting to 26.3 (LTS), 26.2, 26.1, 25.8 (LTS), but no backport label was found.

Affected code: DeltaLakeMetadataImpl::processMetadataFile and DeltaLakeMetadataImpl::getCheckpointIfExists in DeltaLakeMetadata.cpp — core code present in all supported branches.

Why: User-visible bug fix in DeltaLakeMetadataImpl::processMetadataFile and DeltaLakeMetadataImpl::getCheckpointIfExists. Git log shows DeltaLakeMetadata.cpp predates all supported branches (file existed long before 25.8 release date 2025-08-29). Affected code path is the legacy non-kernel reader, present in every supported branch.

If this should be backported, consider adding pr-must-backport or a version-specific label (e.g. v26.3-must-backport). Ignore this if backporting is not applicable.
