+### Using a Hadoop catalog
+
+A Hadoop catalog doesn't need to connect to a Hive MetaStore, but can only be
used with HDFS or similar file systems that support atomic rename. To get a
Hadoop catalog see:
+
+```scala
+import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
+import org.apache.iceberg.hadoop.HadoopCatalog;
+
+val conf = new Configuration();
+val warehousePath = "hdfs://host:8020/warehouse_path";
+val catalog = new HadoopCatalog(conf, warehousePath);
+```
+
+Like Hive catalog, Hadoop catalog implements the interface `Catalog`. So it
also contains methods for working with tables, like createTable, loadTable, and
dropTable.
+
+This example create a table with Hadoop catalog:
+
+```scala
+val name = TableIdentifier.of("logging", "logs")
+val table = catalog.createTable(name, schema, spec)
+
+// write into the new logs table with Spark 2.4
+logsDF.write
+ .format("iceberg")
+ .mode("append")
+ .save("hdfs://warehouse_path/logging/logs")
Review comment:
This location also needs to be fixed to avoid using `warehouse_path` as
the authority section of the URI.
