Kevin Wilfong updated HIVE-2471:
--------------------------------

    Description: Occasionally, when entries are added to the partition stats 
table the program is halted before it can delete those entries, by an 
exception, keyboard interrupt, etc.  These build up to the point where the 
table gets very large, and it hurts the performance of the update statement 
which is often called.  In order to fix this, I am adding a column to the table 
which is auto-populated with the current timestamp.  I am also adding an index 
on this column.  This will allow us to create scripts that go through 
periodically and clean out old entries from the table.  (was: Occasionally, 
when entries are added to the partition stats table the program is halted 
before it can delete those entries, by an exception, keyboard interrupt, etc.  
These build up to the point where the table gets very large, and it hurts the 
performance of the update statement which is often called.  In order to fix 
this, I am adding a column to the table which is auto-populated with the 
current timestamp.  I am also adding an index on this column.  This will allow 
us to create scripts that go through periodically and clean out old entries 
from the table.  The index will help to keep the runtime of these scripts 
short, and hence reduce the amount of time they need to lock the table/indexes 
for.)
        Summary: Add timestamp column to the partition stats table.  (was: Add 
timestamp column with index to the partition stats table.)
