> MSCK repair should handle transactional tables in certain usecases

> The MSCK REPAIR tool does not handle transactional tables too well. It can
> find and add new partitions the same way as for non-transactional tables, but
> since the writeId differences are not handled, the data can not read back
> from the new partitions.
> We could handle some usecases when the writeIds in the HMS and the underlying
> data are not conflicting. If the HMS does not contains allocated writes for
> the table we can seed the table with the writeIds read from the directory
> structrure.
> Real life use cases could be:
> * Copy data files from one cluster to another with different HMS, create the
> table and call MSCK REPAIR
> * If the HMS db is lost, recreate the table and call MSCK REPAIR
