Review comment:
       Sorry for the delay @jackye1995 . I've been thinking a lot about this 
and its not straigthtforward to do consistently. If nessie acts as the lock 
then acquiring the lock is effectively commiting the update to Nessie. A 
failure in the Glue layer would then require a rollback of nessie or the table 
is in an inconsistent state across Nessie/Glue. Obviously thats not acceptable, 
but possible. Let me think more and I can update you on Monday.
   
   I like your suggestion re `lockId`. Doing a String may not be quite right as 
it might need excessive parsing by the impl. Nessie specifically needs at 
minimum `TableIdentifier` (or some derivation of it) and the current metadata 
location. I guess dynamo needs simply the `TableIdentifier`. So we could add 
the metadata location to the interface or we can collapse into a lock id object 
of some sort? The `unlock` could then take that object?
