The logs [schema](#create-a-schema) and [partition
spec](#create-a-partition-spec) are created below.
+HiveCatalog supports registering the table using a metadata location as below:
+
+```java
+import org.apache.iceberg.Table;
+import org.apache.iceberg.catalog.TableIdentifier;
+
+TableIdentifier name = TableIdentifier.of("logging", "logs");
+// register an existing table to this HiveCatalog.
+Table table = catalog.registerTable(name, metadata_file_location);
Review Comment:
+1 on documenting this, do we need to additionally call-out that this needs
to be a json file and compliant with metadata.json format ? as per
[CP](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/TableMetadataParser.java#L261-L268)
or is it self implied, Your thoughts ?
