             Summary: Fix rollback of first commit after being synced to 
metadata table
                 Key: HUDI-2468
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-2468
             Project: Apache Hudi
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: sivabalan narayanan


lets say there is only one commit which got applied to metadata table as well.

now user for some reason, wants to rollback this commit in data table. 

So, when this reaches metadata code path, first we go through bootstrap code 
path. here we check last synced instant from metadata table and try to compare 
w/ data timeline. since the corresponding commit in datatimeline is inflight, 
code deduces that last synced instant is out of active timeline and need to be 
rebootstrapped. 

but then, we have a condition that boostrapping can be done only if there are 
no inflight in data timeline. But the same very commit is actually inflight in 
datatime and we fail here. 

possible fix:

We can pass information on current instant being operated on while 
instantiating metadata table writer and ignore that from inflght while checking 
for bootstrap pre-requisite. But wondering is there is a better approach.
