URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/13115
### Apache Iceberg version
1.9.0 (latest release)
### Query engine
Spark
### Please describe the bug 🐞
# Description
When using the Spark engine with the REST Catalog, attempting to load a
table that has a reserved name (e.g., metadata, snapshots, etc.) before
creating it triggers an unexpected error. This behavior check for table
existence before creation.
# Steps to Reproduce
just past this code in org.apache.iceberg.rest.TestRESTCatalog
```java
@Test
public void reproduceError(){
RESTCatalog catalog = catalog();
catalog.createNamespace(Namespace.of("newdb"));
TableIdentifier identifier = TableIdentifier.of("newdb", "snapshots");
if(catalog.tableExists(identifier)){
catalog.buildTable(identifier, SCHEMA).create();
}
catalog.loadTable(identifier);
}
```
# Expected Behavior
Loading a non-existent table should return false if the table does not exist.
Creating a table with a reserved name should success
# Actual Behavior
throw errors in `TableIdentifier identifier = TableIdentifier.of("newdb",
"snapshots");`
