Review Comment:
   Thanks for the review !
   
   Not sure why hive lock would be necessary for creating the table, as Fokko 
mentioned exception would be raised in case the table already exists. For 
writes or metadata updates lock is necessary. 
   
   Perhaps on some very edge case two clients which do register_table request 
at same time could lead to issues, but I think getting the table lock is almost 
as fast operation as creating the table.
