Description

We should verify if Hive can properly read/write Iceberg tables after their schema was modified through the Iceberg API (it's like when an other engine, like Spark has done modification on the schema).
Unit tests should be added for the following operations offered by the UpdateSchema interface in the Iceberg API:

• adding new top level column
• adding new nested column
• adding required column
• adding required nested column
• renaming a column
• updating a column
• making a column required
• delete a column
• changing the order of the columns in the schema
