> Converting a non acid table to acid only performs metadata validation (in _TransactionalValidationListener_).
> The data read code path only understands certain directory layouts and file names and ignores (generally) files that don't match the expected format.
> In Hive, directory layout and bucket file naming (especially older releases) is poorly enforced.
> Need to add a validation step on 
> {noformat}
> alter table T SET TBLPROPERTIES ('transactional'='true')
> {noformat}
> to 
> scan the file system and report any possible data loss scenarios.
> Currently Acid understands bucket files name like "00000_0" and (with HIVE-16177) 00000_0_copy1" etc at the root of the partition.
