Interface ViewCatalog

@Unstable public interface ViewCatalog
The ViewCatalog interface defines the public API for managing views in a schema. If the catalog implementation supports views, it must implement this interface.

Note: This is a minimal interface. Full operations (create, list, alter, drop) will be added when Gravitino APIs support views.
