### Feature Request / Improvement Now "Drop table" behavior not same in hive4 and spark3.5 when use hivecatalog in hive: drop table icebergTable_hive; // delete the whole storage directory. in spark3.5 drop table icebergTable_hive; // delete the table metadata in hivecatalog, but note delete the whole storage directory. drop table icebergTable_hive purge ; // delete the table metadata in hivecatalog, delete the files which metastore.json refferd , but the directory and other file still exists. This will lead to confusion where use hive4 and spark3.5. so wish make the same behavior . ### Query engine Spark ### Willingness to contribute - [ ] I can contribute this improvement/feature independently - [x] I would be willing to contribute this improvement/feature with guidance from the Iceberg community - [ ] I cannot contribute this improvement/feature at this time -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
