Prasanth J created HIVE-5369: -------------------------------- Summary: Annotate hive operator tree with statistics from metastore Key: HIVE-5369 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5369 Project: Hive Issue Type: New Feature Components: Query Processor, Statistics Affects Versions: 0.13.0 Reporter: Prasanth J Assignee: Prasanth J Fix For: 0.13.0
Currently the statistics gathered at table/partition level and column level are not used during query planning stage. Statistics at table/partition and column level can be used for optimizing the query plans. Basic statistics like uncompressed data size can be used for better reducer estimation. Other statistics like number of rows, distinct values of columns, average length of columns etc. can be used by Cost Based Optimizer (CBO) for making better query plan selection. As a first step in improving query planning the statistics that are available in the metastore should be attached to hive operator tree. The operator tree should be walked and annotated with statistics information. The attached statistics will vary for each operator depending on the operation it performs. For example, select operator will change the average row size but doesn't affect the number of rows. Similarly filter operator will change the number of rows but doesn't change the average row size. Similar rules can be applied for other operators as well. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
