### Feature Request / Improvement
### Improvement
### background
we have known that the rewriteDataFiles is suggested to run periodically.
in our production, we would like to run rewriteDataFiles for a iceberg table
once a month using spark sql procedure rewrite_data_files.
for convenience, we add the following sql command in each ETL daily job.
`
call catalog.system.rewrite_data_files(table=>'hive.iceberg_table', where =>
"truncated(load_date, 6) = '$LASTMONTH' and substr('$TODAY', 7,2) = '03'" )
`
for instance, when $TODAY = '20230208', then where condition is always
false. so we expected that rewrite_data_files can exit directly.
in other words, we got exceptions by executing the sql:
`
call catalog.system.rewrite_data_files(table=>'hive.iceberg_table', where
=>" '01'='03' ")
`
It is an AnalysisException in scala code below since the option object
filtered by where condition is empty.

### Our Request
so could it be possible make rewrite_data_files exit directly without
exceptions if the where condtion is a deterministic false?
