John Russell 8377b9949c Global search/replace: audience="Cloudera" -> audience="hidden".
For this change to land in master, the audience="hidden" code review
needs to be completed first. Otherwise, the doc build would still work
but the audience="hidden" content would be visible rather than hidden as
desired.

Some work happening in parallel might introduce additional instances of
audience="Cloudera". I suggest addressing those in a followup CR so this
global change can land quickly.

Since the changes apply across so many different files, but are so
narrow in scope, I suggest that the way to validate (check that no
extraneous changes were introduced accidentally) is to diff just the
changed lines:

git diff -U0 HEAD^ HEAD

In patch set 2, I updated other topics marked audience="Cloudera"
by CRs that were pushed in the meantime.

<indexterm audience="hidden">DROP VIEW statement</indexterm>
Removes the specified view, which was originally created by the <codeph>CREATE VIEW</codeph> statement.
Because a view is purely a logical construct (an alias for a query) with no physical data behind it,
<codeph>DROP VIEW</codeph> only involves changes to metadata in the metastore database, not any data files in
HDFS.
