Agreed regarding the API behavior change concern, where users might receive
an exception instead of a schema object in these cases.
However, When schema creation succeeds in the external catalog (ex:
Hive/Iceberg) but fails to persist in Gravitino's internal store, subsequent
table creation operations will fail immediately. This happens because:
1. The createTable() API has an @AuthorizationExpression check that
validates the Schema entity from Gravitino's entity store
2. This authorization check fails because the schema doesn't exist in the
entity store (only in the external catalog), so loadSchema(identifier) from
TableOperationDispatcher never gets called
3. Therefore, the auto-import mechanism that could reload the schema from
the external catalog is never triggered
Result: Users get a successful schema creation response, but all subsequent
operations on that schema fail with authorization errors like:
```RuntimeException: failed to load entity from entity store: catalog.schema```
This creates a confusing user experience where the schema appears to be
created successfully but is immediately unusable.
Let me know your thoughts on this case.
