Review comment:
It's different for the SparkSessionCatalog as well.
I'm going to try seeing if I can catch what each of the main catalogs throw
as the exception now and then re-throw it according to the current interface to
keep `NoSuchNamespaceExeption`. An exception comes up in all cases, it's just
not that.
