Github user jinxing64 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/19560 @wzhfy Thanks for comment; I know your point. In my cluster, namenode is under heavy pressure. Errors in stats happen with big chance. Users always do not know there's error in stats. That's why I propose this config. Users can chose to turn on this config by default. Yes, it will hit performance. But it's only when Join and the `totalSize` from metastore is below `spark.sql.autoBroadcastJoinThreshold`, which I think is acceptable. Like I mentioned in description, this is for defense. Help to avoid OOM caused by broadcast join. It's for stability.
