Ted Yu updated HBASE-16009:
---------------------------
     Description:
When I tried to restore an incremental backup,

hbase restore hdfs://hbase-test-rc-rerun-6:8020/user/hbase backup_1465575766499 t1 t2

I got:
{code}
2016-06-10 19:53:11,317 ERROR [main] impl.RestoreClientImpl: ERROR: restore failed with error: Existing table found in target while no "-overwrite" option found
java.io.IOException: Existing table found in target while no "-overwrite" option found
  at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.backup.impl.RestoreClientImpl.checkTargetTables(RestoreClientImpl.java:186)
  at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.backup.impl.RestoreClientImpl.restore(RestoreClientImpl.java:108)

  at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.backup.RestoreDriver.doWork(RestoreDriver.java:198)
{code}

The above check should only be performed for restoring full backup.
