title: Spring batch meta data tables significance
body: <p>Spring batch creates meta data tables in database automatically. as of now I forced spring batch to create metadata tables in memory as per one of the stack-overflow answer. As per the documentation I learnt that metadata tables are used for recovery and restart. My batch job do not require restart because as per my functionality I can simply process the file in next batch. But unable to understand what kind of recovery spring batch provide by using metadata tables. I am simply asking this question because I would like to know is it advisory to turn off creation of meta data tables? Thank you.</p>
