Matteo Bertozzi commented on HBASE-16181:
-----------------------------------------
back then the only system table were (meta, ns, acls).
if you restore one of those chances are that you are corrupting your system.
e.g. restoring meta will not remove or restore regions of the other tables, so
the things that are on disk are not aligned with the meta information.
don't you have the same problem with backups? if you restore an old backup
table, files on disk may be gone or files may be there but not referenced.
