Iceberg table for tables component Review comment: "table for tables component" very confusing. The user is missing some key information. Maybe: Within the metastore directory, the Metastore stores the data for each table in a separate Iceberg file. All table metadata resides in a single file. Table metadata resides in the iceberg/tables directory. Let's write this assuming that the user changed the root folder. So, maybe: `${drill.metastore.iceberg.location.base_path}/tables`. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
