---------------------------------

             Summary: "CREATE VIEW IF NOT EXISTS" fails view already exists
                 Key: HIVE-20462
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20462
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Hive
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0
         Environment: HDP 3.0

Hive 3.1.0.3.0.0.0-1634
            Reporter: static-max


After upgrading to Hive 3.1 from Hive 1.2, I can't run my queries anymore. It seems that "if not exists" is ignored in "create view".

*Example:*
 # create view if not exists test as select 1;
 # create view if not exists test as select 1;

The second call fails with "Table already exists: default.test". I changed this to "create or replace view" as a workaround.

Also documented [link here|https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/214772/hdp-3-hive-create-view-if-not-exists-fails.html|]
