Remove need for storage descriptors for view partitions
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2961
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2961
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.9.0
Reporter: Kevin Wilfong
Assignee: Kevin Wilfong
Storage descriptors were introduced for view partitions as part of HIVE-2795.
This was to allow view partitions to have the concept of a region as well as to
fix a NPE that resulted from calling describe formatted on them.
Since regions are no longer necessary for view partitions and the NPE can be
fixed by not displaying storage information for view partitions (or displaying
the view's storage information if this is preferred, although, since a view
partition is purely metadata, this does not seem necessary), these are no
longer needed.
This also means the Python script added which retroactively adds storage
descriptors to existing view partitions can be removed.
