Review Comment:
   I know. Thats why I didn't oppose that we shouldn't modify the default 
catalog name. But modifying table metadata  in the register operation is not 
good idea as the operation is expected to register the existing metadata 
without modifying it or without writing new metadata. 
   
   So, If engines needed, they can update the view to reflect the new catalog 
name. But I am not sure if Spark can update that view if the existing catalog 
name is different (unable to resolve it?). @nastra: Need your input on this.
