   Yeah, this is getting large. Maybe we should switch to a builder pattern for 
table creation as well, like this:
   
   ```java
   catalog.newTable(TableIdentifier.of("db", "table"))
       .addColumn("id", IntegerType.get())
       .addColumn("ts", TimestampType.withZone())
       .addColumn("data", StringType.get())
       .partitionBy(day("ts"), bucket("id", 16))
       .orderBy(day("ts"), bucket("id", 16), identity("id"))
       .location("s3://bucket/warehouse/db.db/table")
       .create()
   ```
   
   We could use actions `create`, `createTransation`, `replaceTransaction`, and 
`createOrReplaceTransaction` instead of separate methods.
