    Hive updates stats for some formats, e.g. in the test `test statistics of 
LogicalRelation converted from Hive serde tables`, hive updates stats for orc 
table but not parquet table.
    I think it's tricky and fussy to relay on hive's stats, we should rely on 
spark's stats. Here I just eliminate hive's influence for checking. As in 
`CatalogStatistics` we first fill in hive's stats and then override it using 
spark's stats, we can't tell where the stats is from if we check 
`CatalogStatistics`.
