Review Comment:
   I think this would throw if the database doesn't exist, right? Let's make 
that explicit in the error message.
   ```suggestion
               raise NoSuchTableError(f"Table {database_name}.{table_name} fail 
to be created") from e
   ```

Review Comment:
   I think we should move the logic of deleting the files into a function 
(`purge_files(table: Table)`?) in `__init__.py`. We can re-use this for the 
Hive catalog as well.

Review Comment:
   How about naming this `glue` instead? This makes it easier when installing 
extras: `pip install pyiceberg[glue]` instead of `pip install 
pyiceberg[boto3]`, because people are interested in glue, and don't care about 
boto3.

Review Comment:
   Can we move these variables to `catalog/__init__.py`?

Review Comment:
   Since we're doing such an excellent job of putting everything in constants, 
maybe also create one for glue? :)
