Dzeri96 opened a new issue, #18221: URL: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/issues/18221
### Feature Request / Improvement This issue is meant to be a layer on top of #14424. In my original PR, I had both fixed the `default-namespace` config support in the Session Catalog and added `defaultDatabase` support in the regular catalog, but @manuzhang suggested I keep the scope of the changes as small as possible, and instead make two PRs. The basic idea is this: Since the Session Catalog can only support the `spark.sql.catalog.spark_catalog.defaultDatabase`, we might as well unify the way our two catalogs are configured in terms of the default DB. This config key comes from Spark, and it's used in Hudi and Delta already. I would deprecate the `default-namespace` key for now and remove it in the next major version. I already have the code. The PR will be stacked so the community can decide what to accept. ### Query engine Spark ### Willingness to contribute - [x] 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.
