Description

I noticed the Python Catalog API was missing some methods that are present in the Scala API. These would be handy to have in the Python API as well, especially the database/TableExists() methods.

I have a PR ready to add these I can open. All methods added:

• databaseExists()
• tableExists()
• functionExists()
• getDatabase()
• getTable()
• getFunction()
