### Apache Iceberg version 1.8.1 (latest release) ### Query engine Flink ### Please describe the bug 🐞 Given a table name that looks like this: `a.b.c`, [TableIdentifier](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/main/api/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/catalog/TableIdentifier.java) would parse `a.b` as a namespace and `c` as a table name. However, I may need to specify `a` as a namespace and `b.c` as a table name. I can do it manually using the `TableIdentifier.of` static method. However, Flink's [TableLoader](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/main/flink/v1.18/flink/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/flink/TableLoader.java) stores the provided `TableIdentifier` as a string and parses this string when it needs to load a table. Therefore, it's impossible to specify table names with dots when using Flink's TableLoader. I think the solution here would be simple: just store the provided `TableIdentifier` as is. ### Willingness to contribute - [x] I can contribute a fix for this bug independently - [ ] I would be willing to contribute a fix for this bug with guidance from the Iceberg community - [ ] I cannot contribute a fix for this bug at this time -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
