### Feature Request / Improvement
Iceberg has a full view spec and `ViewCatalog` API (implemented by REST,
Hive, JDBC,
Nessie, and InMemory catalogs), and Spark + Trino already read and write
Iceberg views —
but the Flink connector has no view support today.
I plan to implement this as a series of small PRs against flink v2.1:
1. **Read path** — `getTable` returning `CatalogView` (SELECT / DESCRIBE),
`SHOW VIEWS`,
views included in `listTables` per Flink's contract, view-aware
`tableExists`.
Views store the original (as-typed) SQL under the `flink` dialect with
`default-namespace` set, matching the view spec; reads use
`View#sqlFor("flink")`.
2. **Write path** — `CREATE VIEW` / `DROP VIEW` / `ALTER VIEW ... RENAME`
routed to the
underlying `ViewCatalog`.
3. **ALTER VIEW AS + refinements** — view version replace, property updates,
and docs.
