This seems a very useful change. I have a few general comments/questions.

tables
I know what you mean by an "Hdfs table" but maybe "Hive table" is clearer. Our 
new table will still be in hdfs, it will just have a different table format.

PS6, Line 14: tables.
Is it it true to say "the data files themselves are not changed during this 
migration". If so it would be nice to state this explicitly.

I read that in Spark "When you migrate a Hive table to Iceberg, a backup of the 
table, named <table_name>backup, is created." That could be a nice feature 
which might be easy to implement. Of course this could be deferred to future 
work.
