   > What about fixing the Hive catalog so that the commit succeeds if table metadata can't be loaded? It sounds like we should have better handling for broken tables.
   
   Are we suggesting change dropTable to continue if table metadata cannot be loaded?  (I assume we wont add any force flag?).  That sounds like a great feature, its one of the pain points using Iceberg at least on Hive catalog, dropping a tables where metadata doesnt exist, would love to see a pr on that.
   
   It's not the complete solution to the issue I initially filed (rollback corrupt metadata) though, and agree it still would be nice if there's a blessed way somehow
