Dilip Joseph updated HIVE-3777: ------------------------------- Assignee: Ashutosh Chauhan (was: Dilip Joseph) > add a property in the partition to figure out if stats are accurate > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3777 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3777 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Query Processor > Reporter: Namit Jain > Assignee: Ashutosh Chauhan > > Currently, stats task tries to update the statistics in the table/partition > being updated after the table/partition is loaded. In case of a failure to > update these stats (due to the any reason), the operation either succeeds > (writing inaccurate stats) or fails depending on whether hive.stats.reliable > is set to true. This can be bad for applications who do not always care about > reliable stats, since the query may have taken a long time to execute and then > fail eventually. > Another property should be added to the partition: areStatsAccurate. If > hive.stats.reliable is > set to false, and stats could not be computed correctly, the operation would > still succeed, update the stats, but set areStatsAccurate to false. > If the application cares about accurate stats, it can be obtained in the > background. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
