Empty iceberg table created with PyIceberg in AWS Glue misses location and schema

Apache Iceberg version

None

Please describe the bug 🐞

I want to create an empty Iceberg table with PyIceberg in AWS Glue. The snippet below creates the table, but does not show the location and schema information in AWS Glue.
What am I missing?

from pyiceberg.catalog import load_catalog
from pyiceberg.schema import Schema
from pyiceberg.types import TimestampType, StringType, NestedField

schema = Schema(
    NestedField(field_id=1, name="datetime", field_type=TimestampType()),
    NestedField(field_id=2, name="job_id", field_type=StringType()),
    NestedField(field_id=3, name="result", field_type=StringType()),
    NestedField(field_id=4, name="description", field_type=StringType()),
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    catalog = load_catalog(
        "default",
        **{
            "type": "glue",
        },
    )

    catalog.create_table(
        identifier=f"manually_created.my_test_table",
        schema=schema,
        location="s3://my_test_bucket/my_test_table",
    )

with version pyiceberg==0.5.1.

@zartstrom Thanks for raising this! 👍

I think this has been fixed in #288. Can you try this by installing the latest RC pip install==0.6.0rc4.

Hi @Fokko thank you a lot for your hint to #288 .
I installed version 0.6.0rc4 and location and schema appear as expected!
