So if I understand correctly, TableIdentifier consists of the namespace and
the table name. Namespace can be multiple parts, for example
("com"."apache"."iceberg") or "com.apache.iceberg". And table name is 1 word,
i.e. "foo".
If this is the case, is "database name" part of the namespace and possibly
the last element of the namespace?
There are a [few
references](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aapache%2Ficeberg-python%20database_name&type=code)
to "database name" in the codebase and I want to understand the relation.
Particularly, the `_resolve_table_location` function exposed by
`[catalog/__init__.py](https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/blob/a4856bc2eadf90ac85dec96d4502ca3517bb1bb5/pyiceberg/catalog/__init__.py#L535)`
> The REST catalog supports hierarchical namespaces
What is the definition of "hierarchical namespaces" here?
