Description

Trafodion restore works by restoring back all the trafodion tables ( user tables and meta tables ) to an environment where trafodion is not initialized. Upon restore, trafodion is implicitly initialized (appears initialized because of restore of meta tables ).

The script checks to see if there are any trafodion tables(in hbase) and stops with the following error -

****[ERROR]: The target HBase has Trafodion objects.

If there are no Trafodion tables, it continues to restore.

This JIRA is to provide an option where restore will auto-delete any existing Trafodion tables on the instance (on positive acknowledgement from the user).
