There must be a way to tell if dropView operation is `FALSE`. Currently `HiveViewOperations` doesn't throw error during [refresh](https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/9852/files#diff-db46657b84d66e084e15f31b8dab21577efb2ae7102863f94c6c9477782de676R102) . with ` lastViewMetadata = ops.current();` `lastViewMetadata` will be simply null. If we want to return FALSE some way we should validate. Any thoughts ? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
