What is the purpose of the pull request
In Local and hdfs file schemes, there could be partial files created, where in the commit meta files could be empty. We put in a fix sometime back to delete these entries during archival as it will hinder the archival and will fail the pipeline. But we wanted to maintain the entry for book keeping purposes. So, in this patch, we are not deleting such instances, but creating an instant w/o any plan and serializing it to archived folder. So, that we will know exactly what all entries have been archived.
