   Another thing is that you can create a partitioned Iceberg table in Hive by 
setting the table property 'iceberg.mr.table.partition.spec':
   
https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/392c4f259ad57d746280790a21e560319ace4c8d/iceberg/iceberg-handler/src/test/queries/positive/describe_iceberg_table.q#L11
   
   To define this property, the user has to be aware of details of the Iceberg 
specification, i.e. field ids, source ids, and so on. Without this change the 
user would need to use different ids than the ids assigned by Iceberg later, 
which I think can be very confusing.
   
   We don't have the corresponding tests here I think, but in the Hive repo 
some tests would fail if Iceberg starts to use different field id assignment.
