Regarding HIVE-2795, that Python script was intended to solve two problems.
1) The null pointer exception that resulted from calling describe
formatted on a view partition
2) View partitions did not have storage descriptors, so they did not have
a concept of region like other objects.
2 no longer seems to be an issue. 1 could also be solved by not
displaying storage information for view partitions when describe formatted
is called on them, which seems reasonable since they are purely metadata.
I can add a patch removing the need for this script and the script itself
to be included in the release.
