John Sichi commented on HIVE-972:
---------------------------------
@Prasad: DESCRIBE gets the columns of a view the same way as for a table (I
store them as part of CREATE VIEW), so actually we do need to keep the
StorageDescriptor there for holding the column descriptors. It's the SerDeInfo
attribute of the StorageDescriptor, along with others mentioned above, that are
not relevant for a view.
