# What's the problem?
Cannot add schema and tables separately via CLI. Current AddTable CLI
command assumes table(s) and associated schema are uploaded together.
* Prevents using AddSchema -- adding the schema would prevent using
AddTable later as it will flag a duplicate schema is being uploaded.
* Sometimes you want to evolve your tables and/or schema and need extra
flexibility on when you define schemas vs tables that rely upon them.
# What's the proposal?
Modify AddTable command signature so you can add many tables at once without
needing to specify schema separately on command line.
Also update AddSchema to enable updates/overwrites vs just inserts of
schemas.
```
Usage: AddTable -tableConfigFiles tableConfigFile1[,tableConfigFile2][,...]
[OPTIONS]
Add tables defined in comma-separated list of tableConfig files.
NOTE: Each tableConfig file must specify the table schema and type.
Options:
-schemaFiles Comma-separated list of schemaConfig files to add or
update (default null)
-controllerProtocol Protocol to use to connect to controller (default
'http')
-controllerPort Port of controller (default 9000)
-user Username (default null)
-password Password associated with user (default null)
```
Since user has to specify the schema in the tableConfig it is redundant to
require it in the command line. However, I see the usefulness of allowing a
user to add/update a schema at the same time as uploading tables as a
convenience.
We should also expand `AddSchema` to actually be an UPSERT so you can manage
schemas more fully from CLI as well.
# Risk
None -- should be backwards compatible with scripts using earlier syntax.
Only small risk is allowing overwrites vs triggering warning. Maybe have an
`--overwrite` flag to enable but keep False by default?
