CREATE TABLE t LIKE some_view should create a new empty base table, but instead creates a copy of view

    • In 0.8.0, CREATE TABLE LIKE view_name creates a table by adopting the schema of view_name (fields and partition columns) using defaults for serde and file formats. Before 0.8.0, CREATE TABLE LIKE view_name would make a copy of the view.

    Description

      I think it should copy only the column definitions from the view metadata. Currently it is copying the entire descriptor, resulting in a new view instead of a new base table.
