Namit Jain commented on HIVE-2847:
----------------------------------
Few parameters,like hive.stats.reliable, have been introduced to figure out if
stats are accurate.
The idea behind this jira is to use the stats from the metadata to rewrite some
queries.
For eg: for queries like
select count(1) from T where ds > 10;
Say, partitions T@ds=11 and T@ds=12 satisfy the query.
If number of rows are present in the metadata for T@ds=11, T@ds=12, there is no
need to scan the data to get the results.
> Add support for query rewrite from the metadata

> A simple query like:
> select count(1) from T
> should be able to get the results from the metadata instead of scanning the
> complete input table T.
> 2. the metadata only queries today does not scale to a very large number of
> partitions - that needs to be fixed.
