Vineet Garg commented on HIVE-17536: ------------------------------------ [~ashutoshc] if stat key is missing following code will throw NumberFormatException {code}Long.parseLong(params.get(statType)){code} since {code} params.get(statType){code} will return null on missing stat key. So this is already accounted for. > StatsUtil::getBasicStatForTable doesn't distinguish b/w absence of statistics > or zero stats > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-17536 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17536 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Statistics > Reporter: Vineet Garg > Assignee: Vineet Garg > Attachments: HIVE-17536.1.patch > > > This method returns zero for both of the following cases: > * Statistics are missing in metastore > * Actual stats e.g. number of rows are zero > It'll be good for this method to return e.g. -1 in absence of statistics > instead of assuming it to be zero. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
