Attempted to seek or read past the end of the file

Error message

Attempted to seek or read past the end of the file

What it means

PrestoS3InputStream read path: after retries, a read/seek reached beyond the object's content length (EOF confirmed by the retry policy's stopOn EOFException), so the client attempted to read past the end of the S3 object.

Solutions

1. Check the reader's position arithmetic against the file length
2. Handle truncated objects by re-listing the directory or refreshing file status
