> When trying to access a hive table view with HCatalog through Pig, a NullPointerException is thrown.  I realize that it is documented here that HCatalog and views do not work for Pig:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+CLI#HCatalogCLI-Create/Drop/AlterView
> However, surfacing a NullPointerException is not the proper way to handle the incompatibility.  Stack trace below:
