Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-5324:
---------------------------------------
Have we considered providing this interface as a property of the object rather
then a ctor parameter, people have implemented record-writes outside of hive
and this could be a breaking change for them. Are there plans to produce stats
in trunk for anything besides orc ? What type of load with publishing stats put
on the metastore? Is this feature disabled via hive.stats.publish?
> Extend record writer and ORC reader/writer interfaces to provide statistics

> The current implementation for computing statistics (number of rows and raw
> data size) happens for every single row processed. The processOp() method in
> FileSinkOperator gets raw data size for each row from the serde and
> accumulates the size in hashmap while counting the number of rows. This
> accumulated statistics is then published to metastore.
> In case of ORC, ORC already stores enough statistics internally which can be
> made use of when publishing the stats to metastore. This will avoid the
> duplication of work that is happening in the processOp(). Also getting the
> statistics directly from ORC is very cheap (can directly read from the file
> footer).
