+/**
+ * All responses for the first version of the Iceberg REST API will be JSON 
objects, a top-level envelope object with two fields,
+ * `error` and `data`, which are themselves JSON objects.
+ *
+ * data: represents the JSON encoded response for a successful path or for a 
valid / expected failure. JSON representation of various response types
+ * error: a standardized obect on error, containing the error code, message, 
type, and  additional metadata (an optional JSON object of metadata) as defined 
below.
+ *
+ * All responses for the REST catalog should be wrapped this way, vs using 
primitives. For example, for a ListTableResponse, listing tables under a 
namespace "accounting",
+ * we'd get a JSON object back like the following:
+ *
+ * { "data": { "identifiers": [ "accounting.tax", 
"accounting.currency_conversions"] }, "error", {} }
+ *
+ * If the namesapce `accounting` didn't request, the response from that call 
would have a body like the following,
+ * where the `code` 40401 is a two-part identifier:
+ *    - HTTP response code: 404
+ *    - Two digit internal application defined error code for further detail: 
01 - Namespace not found.
+ *
+ * { "data": {}, "error": { "message": "Failed to list tables. The Namespace 
'accounting' does not exist", "type": "NamespaceNotFoundException", "code": 
40401 }
+ *
+ * We could also embed the HTTP response code plainly by itself, without 
internally documented codes, as a separate field. I have found having a 
documented list of internal
+ * error codes to be very helpful previously, but am open to discussion on 
this.

Review comment:
       Excluding this class from the spec and using only OpenAPI yaml SGTM :+1: 
   
   Re: `type` values, I personally tend to think that if the field itself is 
part of the spec, the spec would have to define how to interpret it. I am not 
sure keeping it "opaque" is going to be that much useful from the spec's 
perspective. 
   
   Is this spec intended to define just a common part of the protocol between a 
Catalog impl. on the Iceberg side and the HTTP server that offers the REST API? 
Are the client and server parts supposed to be interoperable or are they 
assumed to work knowing the exact nature and version of the other side?
