Description

When create two entity with the same name, I noticed Atlas is using the update function to update the same entity but not create two different entity with different GUIDs.

This is causing a problem that when two hbase table have a column family with the same name, say HBase Table hbase_table_1 with columnfamily cf1, and HBase Table hbase_table_2 with columnfamily cf1, when you delete hbase_table_1, the columnfamily cf1 in hbase_table_2 would also be deleted.

Please see the attached pics as a reference, when creating the two tables in hbase, entities are also created in atlas, then when droping one of the tables(hbase_table_1), the column family of the other (hbase_table_2) is also deleted, which in fact should not be deleted since it's hbase_table_2's own column family.
