    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-8648?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14500785#comment-14500785 ] 

Sergio Peña commented on HIVE-8648:
-----------------------------------

Hi [~ashutoshc] Could you help me know what kind of ALTER operations can cause to invalidate these stats?

I tried running alter drop partitions while debugging, but the {{updateUnpartitionedTableStatsFast}} is not called.

> Since HIVE-3777 users who want to set the number of rows for a table, must do as follows:
> {noformat}
> alter table ... set tblproperties ('numRows' = '12345', 'STATS_GENERATED_VIA_STATS_TASK' = 'true');
> {noformat}
> Which is strange because (1) users can know the numbers of rows and (2) the stat is not generated by a stats task.
