[Question] Why the java sdk tablesImpl doesn't have create table API

[zymap]

Description

I want to use the WorkspaceClient to use the table api to communicate with the unity catalog, but I found there is no create table api in the databricks sdk.
So my question is, how to create the table using the sdk? is there any special reason?

I'm in the same boat. From the javadocs it mentions the permissions required to create a table but the method doesn't actually exist.

I'd also expect there to be a CreateTableRequest class, but there is not.

As a workaround it may be necessary to just run a SQL statement:

workspaceClient.statementExecution().executeStatement("CREATE TABLE <catalog>.<schema>.<table>", warehouseId);

It looks like this is a limitation of the Databricks API, it also confusingly doesn't have a method to create tables.
