> -------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-2961
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2961
> Project: Hive

> Affects Versions: 0.9.0

> Assignee: Kevin Wilfong

>
> Storage descriptors were introduced for view partitions as part of HIVE-2795.
> This was to allow view partitions to have the concept of a region as well as
> to fix a NPE that resulted from calling describe formatted on them.
> Since regions are no longer necessary for view partitions and the NPE can be
> fixed by not displaying storage information for view partitions (or
> displaying the view's storage information if this is preferred, although,
> since a view partition is purely metadata, this does not seem necessary),
> these are no longer needed.
> This also means the Python script added which retroactively adds storage
> descriptors to existing view partitions can be removed.
