   Base on the discussion in #6785, I feel the actual use case we are trying to solve is the ability to drop a table pointer when there is no metadata file. If so, I think we should adapt our `dropTable` logic to handle such cases. We should still verify the table looks like an Iceberg table in the catalog (to prevent deleting non-Iceberg tables in the same metastore).
   
   PR #7228 is trying to handle that on the Spark side. We will need to change our Spark logic to call dropTable no matter whether the load was successful.
