Nessie warehouse override ignored in pyiceberg

[Pradiksha04]

Apache Iceberg version

0.9.1 (latest release)

Please describe the bug 🐞

When using Pyiceberg with Nessie catalog, specifying a warehouse location in the client configuration does not override the Nessie server's configured nessie.warehouse value

Pyiceberg configuration
catalog = load_catalog(
"rest",
**{
"uri": "http://localhost:19120/api/v1",
"warehouse": "s3://bucket-x",
"s3.endpoint": "http://localhost:9000",
"s3.access-key-id": "minioadmin",
"s3.secret-access-key": "minioadmin",
"s3.path-style-access": "true",
}
)

Observed behavior: Nessie's server-side warehouse path is always used and the Pyiceberg warehouse setting is ignored

Expected behavior: If a warehouse location is provided in the PyIceberg client config, it should be used for new tables.

hi @Pradiksha04 this is part of the Iceberg REST specification and is working as intended. The catalog is the source of truth. You might be able to override it on the Nessie side
