    In database, the purpose of view is **hiding the underneath tables**. We 
should not support to specify the table inside the view. However, you can 
specify the hint on the view itself. Let me give you example. I assumed that 
you asked the following scenario.
    
    ```scala
    scala> sql("create temporary view view_u as select * from u")
    ```
    
    We know that `u` is inside the view. But any table names inside the view 
should be ignored because they are not is unrecognized table name in this 
context.
    ```scala
    scala> sql("SELECT /*+ MAPJOIN(u) */ * FROM t JOIN view_u ON t.id = 
view_u.id").explain(true)
    == Physical Plan ==
    *SortMergeJoin [id#0L], [id#4L], Inner
    :- *Sort [id#0L ASC], false, 0
    :  +- Exchange hashpartitioning(id#0L, 200)
    :     +- *Range (0, 1000000000, splits=8)
    +- *Sort [id#4L ASC], false, 0
       +- ReusedExchange [id#4L], Exchange hashpartitioning(id#0L, 200)
    ```
    
    However, if you give the hint on view **view_u**, it can be propagated.
    ```scala
    scala> sql("SELECT /*+ MAPJOIN(view_u) */ * FROM t JOIN view_u ON t.id = 
view_u.id").explain
    == Physical Plan ==
    *BroadcastHashJoin [id#0L], [id#4L], Inner, BuildRight
    :- *Range (0, 1000000000, splits=8)
    +- BroadcastExchange HashedRelationBroadcastMode(List(input[0, bigint, 
false]))
       +- *Range (0, 1000000000, splits=8)
    ```
