 * I just upgraded to WP 4.3.1 and it appears that the upgrade caused several database
   tables to crash and they cannot be repaired. They are:
 * wp_usermeta: Table is marked as crashed
    wp_posts: 25 clients are using or haven’t
   closed the table properly wp_comments: Table is marked as crashed wp_options:
   Table is marked as crashed wp_postmeta: 24 clients are using or haven’t closed
   the table properly wp_terms: 23 clients are using or haven’t closed the table
   properly wp_term_taxonomy: 24 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
   wp_term_relationships: 23 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
   wp_commentmeta: 21 clients are using or haven’t closed the table properly
 * If anyone knows how to repair these tables, I appreciate any advice.

 * You’ll have to use phpMyAdmin (or another SQL management tool) and use the ‘Repair’
   option for those tables.
 * Just as a word of cation though, with instances like this sometimes things can’t
   be repaired. If that’s the case you should aks your hosting company to restore
   from a backup.
 * That’s why it’s always important to have a good backup strategy for your site.
   Unfortunately things like this can and do happen.
