### Feature Request / Improvement ### Describe the improvement When creating a view with a custom metadata location using `WRITE_METADATA_LOCATION`, the current behavior is confusing and not clearly documented. This is not a critical bug, but it is difficult for users to understand: - whether specifying a custom metadata location for views is supported - what the expected behavior should be - whether the resulting behavior is intentional or a limitation As a result, users may assume they are misconfiguring something or encountering a hidden bug. --- ### Background / Motivation This issue is based on the investigation of the following question: - https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/15103 In that question, it was unclear whether the observed behavior was expected. To clarify this, I performed a verification to isolate the conditions and reproduce the behavior consistently. --- ### What I verified I verified the behavior by explicitly creating a view with a custom metadata location. #### Setup - Apache Iceberg: 1.10.x - Catalog: Hive catalog - Java: 17 - Environment: local setup using Docker #### Configuration ```java .withProperty(ViewProperties.WRITE_METADATA_LOCATION, customLocation) .withLocation(location) .create(); ### Query engine None ### Willingness to contribute - [ ] I can contribute this improvement/feature independently - [ ] 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.
