   @kbendick thanks for the comment, I somehow ignored this PR, my bad.
   
   I believe we have merged the correct fix you made in #3468, so we can close 
this one @tomtongue 
   
   For anyone with the same line of thought, there was a few attempts to add 
this already in the past. However, as you see the input and out format and 
serdes you set here are really just "hacks" to make Hive happy, they are not 
actually the correct information in the table, adding that would just mislead 
users. 
   
   By not setting it, we are trying to ask people to follow the right way to 
use an Iceberg catalog, and Glue here is just an implementation of that Iceberg 
catalog interface similar to any other implementations out there. I don't want 
to create this backdoor for only GlueCatalog simply based on the argument that 
Glue is "Hive compatible", as in fact it is not Hive 2 and 3 compatible 
especially in the write path.
