I would also like to see this merged. I'm planning to use it and afaik some
other users too.
I think having it in flink-contrib would be nice because a. it's more
visible than in a user's fork/repository, b. everybody can contribute back
improvements here (via PRs and some more eyes of the Flink community) and c.
it'll at least receive the automatic changes from tool-based modifications in
Flink's core.

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement

> Original Estimate: 1,008h
> Remaining Estimate: 1,008h

> One of the major problems related to the optimizer at the moment is the lack
> of proper statistics.
> With the introduction of staged execution, it is possible to instrument the
> runtime code with a statistics facility that collects the required
> information for optimizing the next execution stage.
> I would therefore like to contribute code that can be used to gather basic
> statistics for the (intermediate) result of dataflows (e.g. min, max, count,
> count distinct) and make them available to the job manager.
> Before I start, I would like to hear some feedback form the other users.
> In particular, to handle skew (e.g. on grouping) it might be good to have
> some sort of detailed sketch about the key distribution of an intermediate
> result. I am not sure whether a simple histogram is the most effective way to
> go. Maybe somebody would propose another lightweight sketch that provides
> better accuracy.
