Description

Some gvms failed on data loading when tpch kudu tables already existed and load-data.py attempts to re-create the same tables. Ideally our data loading code would be smart enough to not re-create the same tables again, but it looks to me like we actually create tables for all other formats with "IF NOT EXISTS", so we should do the same for Kudu.
