[jira] Commented: (HIVE-1362) column level statistics

["Ning Zhang (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1362?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12870229#action_12870229 ] 

Ning Zhang commented on HIVE-1362:
----------------------------------

This is the 2nd subtask of HIVE-33 (stats in Hive tables). 

We will gather column level stats based on users' request. It also depends on HIVE-1361 in that the metastore API should suport storing and retrieving stats. 

The major milestone for this subtasks are:
 1) add a new HiveQL command to gather column level stats. Please see HIVE-33 for the syntax. 
 2) add new UDFs/UDAFs to compute these statistics. 

The proposed statistics are:
  - number of distinct values
  - number of NULL values
  - min/max k values where k could be given by user
  - histogram: frequency and height balanced
  - average size of the column
  - avg/sum of all values in the column if their type is numerical
  - percentiles of the value
