Greg Rahn updated HIVE-21272:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
Currently it appears that INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES does not contain views.

Per the ISO SQL standard, 
{quote}
The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES table contains one row for each table 
{color:red}including views.{color}
{quote}

Example from Postgres:
{noformat}
create table t (i int);
create view v as select i from t;

select
  table_catalog,
  table_schema,
  table_name,
  table_type
from information_schema.tables
where table_name in ('t','v');

 table_catalog | table_schema | table_name | table_type
---------------+--------------+------------+------------
 grahn         | public       | t          | BASE TABLE
 grahn         | public       | v          | VIEW
{noformat}
