Description

When I do a CREATE TABLE for a Kudu table, using for example hash partitioning, I use this syntax:

CREATE TABLE test_table_1 (id BIGINT, name STRING)
DISTRIBUTE BY HASH(id) INTO 16 BUCKETS
TBLPROPERTIES ( 'kudu.master_addresses'='host1.example.com:7051', 'kudu.key_columns'='id', 'kudu.table_name'='test_table_1', 'storage_handler'='com.cloudera.kudu.hive.KuduStorageHandler');
);

However when I execute SHOW CREATE TABLE I get the following output that does not include the DISTRIBUTE BY clause:

CREATE TABLE default.test_table_1 (id BIGINT, name STRING)
TBLPROPERTIES ('numFiles'='0',
'kudu.master_addresses'='host1.example.com:7051', 'kudu.key_columns'='id', 'kudu.table_name'='test_table_1', 'transient_lastDdlTime'='1446674173',
'COLUMN_STATS_ACCURATE'='false', 'totalSize'='0', 'numRows'='-1',
'rawDataSize'='-1',
'storage_handler'='com.cloudera.kudu.hive.KuduStorageHandler')
