> Issue Type: Improvement

> We have discussed this a little bit.
> Hive can answer queries such as select max(c1) from t purely from metastore
> using partition statistics, provided that we know the statistics are up to
> date.
> All data changes (e.g. adding new partitions) currently go thru metastore so
> we can track up-to-date-ness. If they are not up-to-date, the queries will
> have to read data (at least for outdated partitions) until someone runs
> analyze table. We can also analyze new partitions after add, if that is
> configured/specified in the command.
