### Apache Iceberg version 1.9.0 (latest release) ### Query engine Spark ### Please describe the bug 🐞 # Description When using the Spark engine with the REST Catalog, attempting to load a table that has a reserved name (e.g., metadata, snapshots, etc.) before creating it triggers an unexpected error. This behavior check for table existence before creation. # Steps to Reproduce just past this code in org.apache.iceberg.rest.TestRESTCatalog ```java @Test public void reproduceError(){ RESTCatalog catalog = catalog(); catalog.createNamespace(Namespace.of("newdb")); TableIdentifier identifier = TableIdentifier.of("newdb", "snapshots"); if(catalog.tableExists(identifier)){ catalog.buildTable(identifier, SCHEMA).create(); } catalog.loadTable(identifier); } ``` # Expected Behavior Loading a non-existent table should return false if the table does not exist. Creating a table with a reserved name should success # Actual Behavior throw errors in `TableIdentifier identifier = TableIdentifier.of("newdb", "snapshots");` ### Willingness to contribute - [x] I can contribute a fix for this bug independently - [x] I would be willing to contribute a fix for this bug with guidance from the Iceberg community - [ ] I cannot contribute a fix for this bug at this time -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
