Review comment:
       @prashantwason Thinking about this after today's discussion, will there 
ever be a situation when un-synced instants will be archived ? Given the 
`syncMetadataTable` happens before everything (in the 
AbstractHoodieWriteClient) and after commit, there should never be an instance 
like this ?
