> If a user is trying to insert into a partition,
> insert overwrite table T partition (p) select ..
> it is possible that the directory gets created, but the metadata creation of T@p fails - 
> currently, we will just throw an error. The final directory has been created.
> It will be useful to at-least retry the metadata operation.
