Description

create or replace view v1 as select 1 as q 

results in an error:

Error: Error while processing statement: FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. Table already exists: default.v1 (state=08S01,code=1)

however the following works (thank you Miklos Gergely)

create or replace view v1 as select 1 as q union all select 1 as qq where false
