> NPE when fetching incomplete column statistics from the metastore

>
> Certain operations may store in the metastore incomplete column statistics.
> Fetching those statistics back from the metastore leads to
> {{NullPointerException}} .
> For instance consider a column "name" of type string. If we do have
> statistics for this column then the following info must be available:
> * maxColLen;
> * avgColLen;
> * numNulls;
> * numDVs;
> Executing the following statement on a table with no stats updates a subset
> of the statistics for this column:
> {code:sql}
> ALTER TABLE example UPDATE STATISTICS for column name SET ('numDVs'='242',
> 'numNulls'='5');
> {code}
> Fetching this kind of statistics leads to NPE that sometimes pops up in the
> client and some other times is buried in the logs leading to incomplete
> column stats during optimization and execution of a query.
> Usually the stacktrace is similar to the one below:
