Review comment:
I'd be more inclined to:
Step 1. Update the last ddl timestamp on either add or drop column, and
accept that in a future JIRA the schema registry will be redundantly updated in
the (hopefully rare) event that a base table of a diverged view adds a column.
Essentially this removes the diverged view check here in ViewUtil. (Easy)
Optional Step 2. Then in a second JIRA change the diverged view logic to
inherit changes on both add column and drop column so the updates aren't really
redundant. (Harder, but leaves us in a better state)
If there's some compelling reason to keep the existing logic, I'm interested
to learn about it, but right now it doesn't seem to justify the enormous
complexity (which just keeps compounding with time!) that it requires.
