Judging from the Rendezvous spec [1, §§1.3, 1.4, 1.6], a relay with an HSDir flag (≈40% relays at the moment) will eventually see all online .onion descriptors (placed in “cached-descriptors” file?). If I read the spec correctly, the mean time for a single HSDir relay to see a given .onion descriptor is ((# of HSDir relays) / 6) hours, which is 8 days at present. So running a relay for a couple of months should produce a nearly complete list of hidden service addresses, optionally with some indicative access statistics [1, §1.6].
