> 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
