      At the moment schema operations that involve complex tables can result in multiple updates to the metadata that aren't wrapped in a single transaction - which means that such operations aren't atomic.

      We should use a transaction so those changes are grouped into a single unit of work.

      We attempted to make this change in WT-3829, but that resulted in some unexpected failures for MongoDB. The broken code was disabled as part of WT-3964, we should understand those failures, and make a correct version of that change.
