Review Comment:
    agreed, reworded. It now says that tasks arriving at the same time can all 
find the namespace missing and try to create it (the AlreadyExistsException is 
ignored), and that the catalog is asked instead of the lookup because catalogs 
differ in which exception they throw (Glue throws NoSuchTableException) and a 
cached answer carries none.
