Bug

What happened:

When trying to initialize a DeltaTable with a non-existent (local) path, an exception is raised:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/.../.venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/deltalake/table.py", line 418, in __init__
    self._table = RawDeltaTable(
_internal.TableNotFoundError: no log files

However, the non-existent path provided to the constructor is still created.

What you expected to happen:

I expect that failing to open a table at some path won't create this path.

How to reproduce it:

from deltalake import DeltaTable
from pathlib import Path

non_existent_path = Path("some-non-existent-path")
non_existent_path.exists()
DeltaTable(non_existent_path)
