3397830 - Partitioning of High Cardinality InfoObject Tables not as expected

According the consulting note 2374652, the following rules apply to the master data tables (P/Q) of a Characteristic, which has the 'High Cardinality' flag set:

Tables generated for InfoObjects with property 'High Cardinality' are hash partitioned at the first level. All other InfoObject tables are not partitioned.

• In scale-out systems, InfoObject tables are located on worker nodes. All tables of a high cardinality InfoObject and their partitions are located on the same worker host (LOCATION = 'slave#1' in SYS.TABLE_PLACEMENT).
• In single-node systems, InfoObject tables are located on the coordinator. A single first level partition is created per table - unless the total number of records in the largest table of an InfoObject exceeds 1.5 billion records.

However when such a Characteristic is created, then the master data tables are not created with the proper partitioning schema (PART_SPEC).
