Phabricator updated HIVE-2795:
------------------------------
Attachment: HIVE-2795.D1683.3.patch
kevinwilfong updated the revision "HIVE-2795 [jira] View partitions do not have
a storage descriptor".
Reviewers: JIRA, njain
Included a Python script to go through the metastore and update all view
partitions to have a Storage Descriptor. It does so by dropping the partition
and adding the partition. As the only view partition data that can be modified
is the name, no data will be lost by doing this. Detailed instructions and
warnings are included in the script.
