I also just realized that partitioned views have also been in Hive since 0.8 but it seems the only place they're mentioned on the main LanguageManual DDL page is in another offhand remark in the docs for ALTER VIEW AS SELECT. I was at least able to find a design doc<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/PartitionedViews>for 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?
