Kevin Wilfong updated HIVE-2795:
--------------------------------
Description:
Besides being an inconsistency, it causes errors.
Calling describe formatted on a view partition throws an exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Partition.getCols(Partition.java:505)
at org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask.describeTable(DDLTask.java:2570)
because it does not have a column descriptor, which is part of the storage
descriptor.
