[jira] [Updated] (CAY-1764) cdbimport improvements: "overwrite" flag

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-1764?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andrus Adamchik updated CAY-1764:
---------------------------------

    Description: Merging into existing entities during reverse engineering is tricky and is never going to work reliably if we expect the users to also edit the mapping by hand (in the Modeler). The current "overwriteExisting" does not work as expected either. We'll get rid of "overwriteExisting" flag, replacing it with a new "overwrite" flag that will literally create a new DataMap and write it on top of the old one, not attempting to merge anything.  (was: Merging into existing entities during reverse engineering is tricky and is never going to work reliably if we expect the users to also edit the mapping by hand (in the Modeler). The current "overwriteExisting" does not work as expected either. So I will deprecate (and make noop) "overwriteExisting" flag, replacing it with a new "overwrite" flag that will literally create a new DataMap and write it on top of the old one, not attempting to merge anything.)
