+#### Using Hive Catalog
+Iceberg tables created using `HiveCatalog` are automatically registered with
Hive.

+##### Create an Iceberg table
+The first step is to create an Iceberg table using the Spark/Java/Python API
and `HiveCatalog`. For the purposes of this documentation we will assume that
the table is called `table_b` and that the table location is
`s3://some_path/table_b`.
+TODO: what do we need to set up when we create this table programatically for
everything to be registered correctly for read usage in Hive?
Review comment:
I got this working when I tested 0.10.0-rc4. In Hive, I had to set
`iceberg.mr.catalog=hive` so that the correct catalog was used. Unfortunately,
that broke the Hadoop table.
I think we might want to add support for Hadoop tables in our catalogs using
an identifier that contains a path to fix this.
