Review Comment:
   Thanks for the feedback!
   
   The goal is to capture the entire CREATE VIEW syntax in API. Leave the 
choice to catalog plugin developers on whether to use properties to implement 
the APIs. I'd expect HMS-backed view catalog implementation will continue to do 
so the same as the current v1 implementation. On the other hand, view catalog 
plugins that support more free-form storage formats such as JSON can choose a 
different approach.
