Review comment:
       I don't really like using Strings as identifiers as it requires 
implementations to parse it but I am not sure other options are better. I 
considered using `TableIdentifier` in Iceberg defines but it is in the catalog 
module so it will be a bit weird to use it here. Also, parsing seems inevitable 
as there may be engine-specific parsing.
