Review comment:
I think this is redundant. If the namespace doesn't exist then the call
to `listNamespaces` will throw Spark's `NoSuchNamespaceException` and this can
exit early. Otherwise, the namespace exists in some form. The only reason to
call `namespaceExists` is if there is a custom implementation of that method
(rather than loading metadata and catching `NoSuchNamespace`) but there isn't,
so we may as well not make too many calls.
