Review Comment:
   Good point. I think it was an API-level compromise that we still allow 
users/catalogs to pass in table location, and now should be a good time to fix 
that.
   
   I can't think of a case where a caller needs pass in an explicit 
`table_location` and a `metadata` with a different `location`, metadata should 
always have a `location` as well. So I believe we should change the function to 
just take in a metadata:
   ```rust
   pub fn try_with_metadata(&self, metadata: &TableMetadata) -> Result<Self> {
    // call metadata.metadata_location for location
   }
   ```
   
   Again, this is not a correctness issue, and if you think the change would be 
too big then let's leave TODO comments and create a tracking issue so we can 
move forward here
