   Why do we need `write.metadata.path` to set the view location when there is 
`location` field in the view spec 
https://iceberg.apache.org/view-spec/#view-metadata?
   
   
   > For now, when you customize the View's metadata location, you need to set 
the warehouse parameter. However, if your database has the configured location 
in its property such as location: /db/table/path, you need to change the 
database location (this is not always easy).
   
   I'm not sure I followed. My understanding is that the `location` field of 
the view spec are supposed to serve the purpose.  A view is just one single 
metadata.json file, with the support of both `write.metadata.path` and 
`location`, we got two places to specify the location, which seems confusing.
