If we've already run the analyze command, then we have Statistics having rowCount, say 100. Now we run alter table command to set "numRows" to 200 (without setting STATS_GENERATED_VIA_STATS_TASK to true). If we use the same alterTable method, since Statistics is defined, we will set numRows and STATS_GENERATED_VIA_STATS_TASK into properties, just like we do for analyze command. Then, the parameters in Hive are numRows=100, STATS_GENERATED_VIA_STATS_TASK=true, COLUMN_STATS_ACCURATE=true, while the expected result would be numRows=200, STATS_GENERATED_VIA_STATS_TASK=false, COLUMN_STATS_ACCURATE=false
