> The idea is to rely as much as possible on the logic in ColumnStatsSemanticAnalyzer as other operations do. In particular, they create a 'analyze table t compute statistics for columns', use ColumnStatsSemanticAnalyzer to parse it, and connect resulting plan to existing INSERT/INSERT OVERWRITE statement. The challenge for CTAS or CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW is that the table object does not exist yet, hence we cannot rely fully on ColumnStatsSemanticAnalyzer.
> Thus, we use same process, but ColumnStatsSemanticAnalyzer produces a statement for column stats collection that uses a table values clause instead of the original table reference:
> {code}
> select compute_stats(col1), compute_stats(col2), compute_stats(col3)
> from table(values(cast(null as int), cast(null as int), cast(null as string))) as t(col1, col2, col3);
> {code}
