Also, we clear server side cache anytime a SYSTEM table is disabled, using a coprocessor hook. So I decided to simplify the logic and clear the cache every time. Its good to do that because the server side cache will go out of sync with the SYSCAT table once the migration happens. For example, if the cached Ptable represented SYSTEM.CATALOG (IS_NAMESPACE_MAPPED=false), the new Ptable should represent SYSTEM:CATALOG (IS_NAMESPACE_MAPPED=true). This can only happen if the cache entry for that table is invalidated.
