@szehon-ho @RussellSpitzer I also have a strong need to call register table on the same table to update meta location. My background: We write using hadoop catalog, but need to read from hive catalog for special reasons (for example, we need to create a hive view to read table, hadoop catalog can't create hive view). Hive is read only here. But in order to update the metadata, we need to update the meta location information regularly. I took a rough look at the current implementation. I think if the register table is to implement the update mechanism, it is better not to call the `BaseMetastoreTableOperations#commit` method here. Because register table is similar to the mirror reading of the table, there should be no modification operation, but there is modification in the commit method. I would like to complete this update function if possible. Thanks! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
