how about
```
# Note on table properties:
# - Iceberg table properties are stored in both HMS and
Iceberg metadata JSON.
# - Updates are reflected in both locations
# - Existing HMS table properties (set by external
systems like Hive/Spark) are preserved.
#
# While it is possible to modify HMS table properties
through this API, it is not recommended:
# - New/Updated HMS table properties will also be stored
in Iceberg metadata (even though it's HMS-specific)
# - HMS properties cannot be deleted since they are not
visible to Iceberg
# - Mixing HMS-specific properties in Iceberg metadata
can cause confusion
