Review Comment:
   Hey @singhpk234!! In regards to duplicates, I've seen if we have duplicates 
committed across snapshots it will result in duplicate rows in Spark. As for 
duplicates in the same operation, they are deduplicated with the DataFileSet 
during the operation. But in the previous PR, there are some users who can't 
even read their tables right now if their table has duplicate manifests accross 
the snapshots. For deleted files, the `FileIO` will throw an exception when it 
can't open a missing file but that's at th engine level.
   
   I agree that duplicates and missing files are different types of issues, but 
I still think they should be handled together in one action. The main goal is 
to restore the table to a queryable state and returning the manifests to most 
correct state. Most users just want to be able to query their table again 
that’s the priority. Once the table is readable, they can inspect it, 
understand what went wrong, and decide whether it’s worth doing a deeper fix.
   
   But, I'd like to hear what others think about this!
