Description

If the incremental dump event sequence have ADD_PARTITION followed by ALTER_PARTITION doesn't create any task for ALTER_PARTITION event as the partition doesn't exist during analyze phase. Due to this REPL STATUS returns wrong last repl ID.
Scenario:
1. Create DB
2. Create partitioned table.
3. Bootstrap dump and load
4. Insert into table to a dynamically created partition. - This insert generate ADD_PARTITION and ALTER_PARTITION events.
5. Incremental dump and load.

• Load will be successful.
• But the last repl ID set was incorrect as ALTER_PARTITION event was never applied.
