> lets say there is only one commit which got applied to metadata table as well.
> now user for some reason, wants to rollback this commit in data table. 
> So, when this reaches metadata code path, first we go through bootstrap code path. here we check last synced instant from metadata table and try to compare w/ data timeline. since the corresponding commit in datatimeline is inflight, code deduces that last synced instant is out of active timeline and need to be rebootstrapped. 
> but then, we have a condition that boostrapping can be done only if there are no inflight in data timeline. But the same very commit is actually inflight in datatime and we fail here. 
> possible fix:
> We can pass information on current instant being operated on while instantiating metadata table writer and ignore that from inflght while checking for bootstrap pre-requisite. But wondering is there is a better approach.
