> The documentation for CREATE TABLE AS (CTAS) shows the syntax of the command, without the optional PARTITION BY clause. That option is only mentioned later under the usage notes.
> *+_Suggestion_+*: Add this optional clause to the syntax (same as for CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE (CTTAS)). And mention that this option is only applicable when storing in Parquet. 
> And the documentation for CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE (CTTAS), the comment says:
> {panel}
> An optional parameter that can *only* be used to create temporary tables with the Parquet data format. 
> {panel}
> Which can mistakenly be understood as "only for temporary tables". *_+Suggestion+_*: erase the "to create temporary tables" part (not needed, as it is implied from the context of this page).
> *_+Last suggestion+_*: In the documentation for the PARTITION BY clause, can add an example using the implicit column "filename" to demonstrate how the partitioning column puts each distinct value into a separate file. For example, add in the "Other Examples" section :
> {noformat}
> 0: jdbc:drill:zk=local> select distinct r_regionkey, filename from mytable1;
> +--------------+----------------+
> | r_regionkey  |    filename    |
> +--------------+----------------+
> | 2            | 0_0_3.parquet  |
> | 1            | 0_0_2.parquet  |
> | 0            | 0_0_1.parquet  |
> | 3            | 0_0_4.parquet  |
> | 4            | 0_0_5.parquet  |
> +--------------+----------------+
> {noformat}
