The Ambiguity in the Docs "Hive type to Iceberg type."

Feature Request / Improvement

There is Ambiguity in the chapter "Hive type to Iceberg type."

For general hive users, they think the Hive type is the Hive Data type.

However, the Hive type in the docs is hidden underneath the Hive SQL parser and is not the data type used in Hive SQL.

Only sophisticated developers can recognize that immediately.

Adding some notes here is helpful.
