PS9, Line 16: Table is not fully loaded until it is referenced in a query.
I think if pull_table_types_and_comments is set to false, SHOW VIEWS can still 
work. But users have to make sure the views are loaded so they can be correctly 
shown in SHOW VIEWS statements. A view will be loaded when it's referenced in a 
query, e.g. a DESCRIBE statement.

If load_catalog_in_background is set to true, SHOW VIEWS can still miss some 
views if they are unloaded yet. Note that background loading is done by a 
thread pool asynchronously.

We have similar issues for checking the ownership on unloaded tables (described 
as an example in IMPALA-8937).

PS9, Line 27: LOAD_CATALOG_FLAG = "--load_catalog_in_background=true"
I don't think we should test on this flag. The metadata is loaded in background 
so it's undetermined whether the views are loaded when the tests run.
