   Another option to consider is supplying a base namespace for a given catalog. So if I have a catalog that supports a 2-level namespace, I would supply the first level in the catalog configuration and the second level would be exposed as Flink databases.
   
   That's what we were going to do in Spark, before there was a push for arbitrary nesting. The nesting is nice because we can reference metadata tables using the table name as a namespace (like `catalog.db.table.history`).
