Description

Databricks Unity does not allow you to set property table_type, since it is a protected field used internally in Databricks (probably)

This is used for Lance to find tables.

Research direction

Start with the Java implementation for Databricks Unity Catalog and search for where the table_type property is set. Reproduce the failure against Databricks Unity, then verify that Lance can still find tables without attempting to set the protected property.
