Review comment:
       yeah the current API tries to have just `create`, `remove` and `rename` 
and ref property update APIs, because it's a bit unclear to me if we need a 
replace given that there is no such operation in schema and partition spec 
update.
   
   The action `replace` indicates the tag already exists, and I imagine it 
should throw exception if the tag does not exist. In that case, user still need 
to first check existence and then decide to create or replace, and it has 
little difference from just updating properties of the ref.
   
   If we allow `replace` to mean `put` that either create or update, then my 
concern is that it might cause unintented use that people might override a tag 
without knowing it already exists. The current API is basically trying to force 
a check on user side because there is not really a compare-and-swap of the 
specific ref that we could enforce as of today on server side and we have to 
replace the entire metadata file.
   
   any thoughts?
