    Description

      Currently, we only have a SQL interface for recovering all the partitions in the directory of a table and update the catalog. `MSCK REPAIR TABLE` or `ALTER TABLE table RECOVER PARTITIONS`. (Actually, very hard for me to remember `MSCK` and have no clue what it means)

      After the new "Scalable Partition Handling", the table repair becomes much more important for making visible the data in the created data source partitioned table.

      It is desriable to add it into the Catalog interface so that users can repair the table by

      spark.catalog.recoverPartitions("testTable")
