Review comment:
       It might make sense to throw an exception if the user wants to use these 
Hive types (byte, short, char, varchar, etc.) which do not exist in Iceberg. 
E.g. "unsupported Hive type (byte) for Iceberg tables. Consider using type 
(int) instead." - or something along the lines. Silently using a different 
Iceberg type than the one specified in the Hive DDL (e.g. Hive short -> Iceberg 
int) under the hood can violate the expectations of the user, for example 
regarding storage footprint, so it might be better to force a one-to-one type 
mapping.
