                 Key: DRILL-684
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-684
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jinfeng Ni

Parquet group scan provides the exact row count and the exact value count for 
each individual column.  Such information could be leveraged in the following 
two ways:

1. Use the count in the cost estimation, when query refers parquet files.

2. Use the row count or column value count to optimize count() aggregate 
function.

For instance,  select count(*) from parquet_file; 
                       select count(column_a) from parquet_file;

First query could be transformed to return the row count directly, the second 
one could return the column value count for 'column_a'. Both of the two cases 
will avoid scan the whole parquet files, thus improve query performance.
