   We are also thinking about migrating Hive tables to Iceberg tables by creating the appropriate metadata files. 
   
   For us it  would be better to have an API what the engines can implement. In Hive it is possible to set the location on partition level, so we might be better off using HMS to get the partition information than parsing the path. So I think some API that will return Pair<Map<PARTITION_KEY, PARTITION_VALUE>, List<PATH>> might be better.
