> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-beta-1, 4.0.0-alpha-1, 2.7.0, 2.6.2

> Incremental backups can be taken even if the table descriptor of the current
> table does not match the column families of the full backup for that same
> table. When restoring the table, we choose to use the families of the full
> backup. This can cause the restore process to fail if we add a column family
> in the incremental backup that doesn't exist in the full backup. The bulkload
> process will fail because it is trying to write column families that don't
> exist in the restore table.
>
> I think the correct solution here is to prevent incremental backups from
> being taken if the families of the current table don't match those of the
> full backup. This will force users to instead take a full backup.
