Can you explain a little more about the usages here? I assume this for a system which is using a HiveCatalog and wants to check the current state of the table, but doesn't want to check the HMS directly? I'm mostly trying to see how widely required this would be since it's essentially just a shortcut for client.loadTable().property("metadata_location") Mostly my thoughts here are if we want to move away from Required metadata.json this is a bit of a step in the other direction but since it would only be for HiveCatalog it may be fine since it's specific to that implementation -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
