Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-972:
------------------------------------
I thought view definitions are supposed to be frozen when a view is created.
Isn't that true of partitions as well? so why would an older partition need to
be regenerated automatically when a view definition changes? or is the 'frozen
definition' part doesn't apply to materialized views?
Also the "dead-weight" doesn't matter since null valued columns add very little
overhead in mysql.
But I agree with 1 and 2 so let's keep the way you have them in the patch.
