For posterity, a view's stored schema can drift away from its underlying sources when the source data types change. For example, say a view selects from a table with an int column. Then the table is dropped and recreated to make that column a double. The stored schema in the view will still be int and now will throw a error attempting to cast the double to an int. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
