If a user is working with the HiveIcebergStorageHandler then they can get into a bit of a tricky situation. Say perhaps, that they delete their metadata.json or alter that property such that it no longer points to a valid file. Any subsequent DDL or operations will fail because for Hive to modify the table it must first load metadata.json. So if the file is dropped the the table is undroppable. This may also be an issue in case the table property is changed to point to a bad metadata.json path. I'm not sure if this is something we can guard against but I thought I'd make a note of it -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
