Code Review

This pull request is a backport to add a wait for cache expiry in several integration tests. The changes involve setting the metadata cache expiration to 1 second in test environments and adding a 1-second sleep after schema-altering operations to ensure the cache is updated. This is intended to make the tests more stable. The changes also include some nice refactoring of try-with-resources blocks in test methods, improving code clarity and resource management. My main feedback is about the sleep duration, which might be too tight and could lead to flaky tests.
