Pankit Thapar commented on HIVE-8955:
-------------------------------------
Thanks for a quick glance [~szehon]. As far as I can tell, its the same flag
"hive.stats.autogather"
// Statistics
HIVESTATSAUTOGATHER("hive.stats.autogather", true,
"A flag to gather statistics automatically during the INSERT OVERWRITE
command."),
But this flag is not used in the code flow for alter_partition
> alter partition should check for "hive.stats.autogather" in hiveConf

> Key: HIVE-8955
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8955
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metastore
> Affects Versions: 0.13.1
> Reporter: Pankit Thapar
> Fix For: 0.15.0
>
>
> When alter partition code path is triggered, it should check for the flag
> "hive.stats.autogather", if it is true, then only updateStats else skip them.
> This is done in append_partition code flow.
> Is there any specific reason the alter_partition does not respect this conf
> variable?
> //code snippet : HiveMetastore.java
> private Partition append_partition_common(RawStore ms, String dbName, String
> tableName,
> List<String> part_vals, EnvironmentContext envContext) throws
> InvalidObjectException,
> AlreadyExistsException, MetaException {
> ...
> ....
> if (HiveConf.getBoolVar(hiveConf,
> HiveConf.ConfVars.HIVESTATSAUTOGATHER) &&
> !MetaStoreUtils.isView(tbl)) {
> MetaStoreUtils.updatePartitionStatsFast(part, wh, madeDir);
> }
> ...
> ...
> }
> The above code snippet checks for the variable but this same check is absent
> in
> //code snippet : HiveAlterHandler.java
> public Partition alterPartition(final RawStore msdb, Warehouse wh, final
> String dbname,
> final String name, final List<String> part_vals, final Partition
> new_part)
> throws InvalidOperationException, InvalidObjectException,
> AlreadyExistsException,
> MetaException {
> ....
> ...
> }
