According to document <https://phoenix.apache.org/update_statistics.html>
The UPDATE STATISTICS command updates the statistics collected on a table, to improve query performance. This command collects a set of keys per region per column family that are equal byte distanced from each other. These collected keys are called *guideposts* and they act as *hints/guides* to improve the parallelization of queries on a given target region. Few questions I Have 1. Where are the statistics for a given table is kept 2. Does this mean that each column family of a table has its own statistics 3. Is statistics collected similar to statistics for store-index in Hive ORC table 4. Can statistics been used in predicate push down Thanks Dr Mich Talebzadeh LinkedIn * https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEAAAAWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw <https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=AAEAAAAWh2gBxianrbJd6zP6AcPCCdOABUrV8Pw>* http://talebzadehmich.wordpress.com *Disclaimer:* Use it at your own risk.
