gravitino [Improvement] GravitinoClient needs metalake to obtain version

What would you like to be improved?

Currently the GravitinoClient requires a known metalake name if you want to get the server version number. This is an issue if no metalakes exist.

How should we improve?

You should be able to get the version number without knowing the name of any existing metalakes.

Where should I have made the modifications? Can you provide me with assistance

You want to take a look at GravitinoClient.java / GravitinoClientBase.java and the serverVersion() method. serverVersion() doesn't require a metalake, but the GravitinoClient build method checks that the metalake is not null or empty. The GravitinoClient constructor also calls loadMetalake.

@justinmclean @jerryshao hello,I think this problem has not been fixed yet, and the related PRs are closed. Can I continue to fix it?

I think @jerryshao is of the opinion that a fix is not needed here. There are other good first issues you can look at - https://github.com/apache/gravitino/contribute
