Add several convenient ways to resolve root metadata.json file in an iceberg table function and engine. Closes #78455. #78475 (Daniil Ivanik).Why it matters
This feature simplifies the way users specify and locate the rootmetadata.json file when working with Iceberg tables. By providing more flexible resolution options, it reduces configuration complexity and potential errors, improving user experience and integration with Iceberg tables.How to use it
Users can now reference the Iceberg table's rootmetadata.json file through several new approaches in the table function and engine configurations. The exact usage depends on the chosen method, but generally involves pointing to the Iceberg table location or directly specifying the metadata.json path in the query or table definition.
