Phabricator updated HIVE-2471: ------------------------------ Attachment: HIVE-2471.D2367.2.patch kevinwilfong updated the revision "HIVE-2471 [jira] Add timestamp column with index to the partition stats table.". Reviewers: JIRA, njain Changed the name of the stats table so that this update will apply automatically and immediately, otherwise the update command will fail on old schemas. Also introduced versioning to the name while I think is better than the old method of coming up with a new combination of (PARTITION, PART) and (STATISTICS, STATS).

This will allow us to create > scripts that go through periodically and clean out old entries from the table. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
