Gang Tim Liu commented on HIVE-3917:
------------------------------------
Great points, thank you very much.
Yes, hdfs is focus. We will give nice messages in case of hbase, Cassandra etc
Yeah, Let us see if we can come up with a better name than noscan. So far it
looks like good fit :)
Thanks again

> Support fast operation for analyze command

> Key: HIVE-3917
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3917
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Statistics
> Affects Versions: 0.11.0
> Reporter: Gang Tim Liu
> Assignee: Gang Tim Liu
>
> hive supports analyze command to gather statistics from existing
> tables/partition
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/StatsDev#StatsDev-ExistingTables
> It collects:
> 1. Number of Rows
> 2. Number of files
> 3. Size in Bytes
> If table/partition is big, the operation would take time since it will open
> all files and scan all data.
> It would be nice to support fast operation to gather statistics which doesn't
> require to open all files:
> 1. Number of files
> 2. Size in Bytes
> Potential syntax is
> ANALYZE TABLE tablename [PARTITION(partcol1[=val1], partcol2[=val2], ...)]
> COMPUTE STATISTICS [noscan];
> In the future, all statistics without scan can be retrieved via this optional
> parameter.
