henrib opened a new issue, #13800: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/13800
### Feature Request / Improvement **WHAT** Add a method to get current the metadata location for a given table identifier. **WHY** To verify if a Table object points to the latest version known, the path to the actual metadata file location is the source of truth. This is useful for server-side caching to detect stale versions and/or implement an eTag/conditional reload (by digesting location to create the eTag for instance). **HOW** Adding that method to HiveCatalog that queries the underlying HMS Store; if the table does not exist or is not an Iceberg table, return null otherwise the metadata file location. ### Query engine Hive ### Willingness to contribute - [x] I can contribute this improvement/feature independently - [ ] I would be willing to contribute this improvement/feature with guidance from the Iceberg community - [ ] I cannot contribute this improvement/feature at this time -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
