Description:
The information_schema table "information_schema.views" does not contain information about
which algorithm the view uses.

select * from information_schema.views where table_name="v";
TABLE_CATALOG NULL
TABLE_SCHEMA  test
TABLE_NAME    v
VIEW_DEFINITION       select `test`.`t`.`s2` AS `s2`,`test`.`t`.`s1` AS `s1`
from `test`.`t` where (`test`.`t`.`s1` > 5) order by `test`.`t`.`s1`
CHECK_OPTION  NONE
IS_UPDATABLE  NO
DEFINER       root@localhost
SECURITY_TYPE DEFINER

This information is available in "SHOW CREATE VIEW "

How to repeat:
select * from information_schema.views where table_name="v";

Suggested fix:
Add the field ALGORITHM to "information_schema.views"
