Glad to see someone paying attention to the docs. I can't tackle these
tasks right now, so I'm adding d...@hive.apache.org to the mailing list.
Hope springs eternal

I also just realized that partitioned views have also been in Hive since

LanguageManual DDL page is in another offhand remark in the docs for ALTER

dochttps://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/PartitionedViewsfor the
feature, and it does seem like it does describe the feature pretty
well, but there are parts of it that don't seem the most definitive (e.g.
referring in future tense to CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW functionality). Could
someone also update the wiki about this too? I'd love to update it myself
with a couple stubs that at least point to the existence of these
functionalities. Is this the right place to make such requests?
Thanks again!

like it was implemented as a response to
HIVE-1078https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1078.
It even looks like there's a reminder to update the wiki, but it doesn't
seem like the wiki was ever updated.
Thanks!
