I have an idea how we could define a general specification for the "storage table pointer" that would allow to decide on a case by case basis whether to register the storage table in the catalog or not. We could use a storage table pointer of the form: `protocol` `:` `identifier` For example: - `catalog:public.table1` for a storage table that is registered in a catalog - `uuid:df838b92-0b32-465d-a44e-d39936e538b7` for referencing the storage table by uuid - `file:/home/iceberg/warehouse/nyc/taxis/metadata/00000-8a62c37d-4573-4021-952a-c0baef7d21d0.metadata.json` for referencing the storage table by metadata location -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
