+#### 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:
       Also, `engine.hive.enabled` is the table property. When a table has that 
property, it will be created with the storage handler. I set the property on my 
table from Spark and it worked.
