   @pvary and @rdblue  the change as we discussed, if you guys want to take a 
look.
   
   After doing some tests with it, one unexpected side effect to call out for 
reviewers is that due to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13014, 
lock() is now explicitly not allowed to retry (ref:  
https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/standalone-metastore/metastore-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/IMetaStoreClient.java#L3413).
  
   
   On the one hand, correct-ness wise it makes sense to avoid retry (its 
possible the server actually got the lock but does not return to the client, 
leaving a dangling lock).   On the other hand, it's a bit of a bummer as lock() 
is called quite frequently on Iceberg side on every commit and is a bit prone 
to random failures, ie https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-23052.
