@rohitshetty @jdwills Quick update. Turns out this has been fixed in [24.2.3](https://docs.dremio.com/current/release-notes/version-240-release#2423-release-notes-october-2023-enterprise:~:text=Fixed%20a%20number%20of%20issues%20that%20were%20affecting%20proper%20handling%20of%20inferred%20partition%20columns%2C%20specifically%20FOR%20PARTITIONS%20(...)%20was%20not%20working%20for%20inferred%20partition%20columns.) and [23.2.3](https://docs.dremio.com/current/release-notes/version-230-release#2323-release-notes-october-2023-enterprise:~:text=Fixed%20a%20number%20of%20issues%20that%20were%20affecting%20proper%20handling%20of%20inferred%20partition%20columns%2C%20specifically%20FOR%20PARTITIONS%20(...)%20was%20not%20working%20for%20inferred%20partition%20columns.). And should be fixed in the next release cycle for Dremio Cloud. > [@rohitshetty](#): > > I am wondering what are the implications of not having a partition inference. Would there be performance penalties? There shouldn’t be a performance implication using the workaround. You should be able to see partition pruning happening in the raw profile of the query. IMO, partition inference is more of a convenience feature. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.dremio.com/t/unable-to-do-metadata-refresh-for-partitions/11097)._
