Review comment:
       This would be a slight modification to the API.
   - Before the change we throw a NoSuchIcebergTableException if we tried to 
load a Hive table which did not have the correct table type and the metadata 
location set.
   - After the change we will try to update the table with the correct 
parameters
   
   Would this be acceptable change in the API behavior?
