########## core/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/jdbc/JdbcCatalog.java: ########## @@ -612,6 +613,14 @@ public boolean dropView(TableIdentifier identifier) { throw new UnsupportedOperationException(VIEW_WARNING_LOG_MESSAGE); } + JdbcViewOperations ops = (JdbcViewOperations) newViewOps(identifier); + ViewMetadata lastViewMetadata = null; + try { + lastViewMetadata = ops.current(); + } catch (NotFoundException e) { Review Comment: `ops.current()` throws `NoSuchViewException` and `NotFoundException`. When `NoSuchViewException` is thrown, it means the view to drop doesn't exist. I wonder if it still makes sense to continue executing the following `JdbcUtil.DROP_VIEW_SQL`. When `NotFoundException` is thrown by the `refreshFromMetadataLocation(newMetadataLocation)` call in `JdbcViewOperations#doRefresh()`, it means the view exists but `newMetadataLocation` is not found while we try to read the metadata by `ViewMetadataParser.read()`. I think executing `JdbcUtil.DROP_VIEW_SQL` makes sense. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
