Jerry He commented on HBASE-15862:
----------------------------------

IMO and IIRC.  If fhe full restore is to an existing table, it would complain. 
This leaves to the user to decide to have a fresh and clean restore.  
The -overwrite option is a tricky option to restore to an existing table, which 
should be used cautiously. 
In the original plan, this option means that the user is aware of risks that it 
is a 'overwrite' -- which can be  non-deterministic in some cases (e.g. the 
case described in this ticket).

If we do 'disable/delete' table as part of the restore, it is similar to let 
the user clean up the table fresh outside of the restore process, which is 
similar to the non-overwrite case.

> Backup - Delete- Restore does not restore deleted data

> This was discovered during testing. If we delete row after full backup and 
> perform immediately restore, the deleted row still remains deleted.
