   BTW, I have encouterred a failed case before when I used spark to backtrack 
some history partition data into a cow table. 
   
   The table was appended by flink originally and I did not specify the record 
key. By default, `_hoodie_record_key` metadata field would filled with a 
placeholder `__empty__`  in flink job. However, Spark can not generate  
`_hoodie_record_key` metadata field without primary key or record key. 
   
   If the table is not only be appended by flink, but also needs spark or other 
engine to process, I think the record key is required.
