If you have the intermediate bib processing files, particularly the
output of direct_ingest, make sure that file contains 'mrd' rows.  For
OpenSRF 0.9 (Evergreen 1.2.x), those will start with '/*--S mrd--*/',
and in OpenSRF 1.0.x they will start with '[{"__c":"mrd","__p"'.

If you can find that file and it contains 'mrd' lines, then we can
simply regenerate that table's worth of data. Otherwise you'll need to
reprocess the bib records in order to get that data, but you won't
need to reload the entire dataset.
