Sungwoo Park commented on HIVE-26157:
-------------------------------------
Calling IcebergTableUtil.getTable() in the new code throws the same
NullPointerException as reported in HIVE-25964, e.g., when creating Iceberg
tables from existing ORC tables using CTAS with
hive.security.authorization.enabled set to true. Is this patch an improvement
that can be reverted at the cost of efficiency?

> In HIVE-25964, the authz URI has been changed to "iceberg://db.table".
> It is possible to set the metadata pointers of table A to point to table B,
> and therefore you could read table B's data via querying table A.
> {code:sql}
> alter table A set tblproperties
> ('metadata_location'='/path/to/B/snapshot.json',
> 'previous_metadata_location'='/path/to/B/prev_snapshot.json'); {code}
