> hive supports analyze command to gather statistics from existing tables/partition https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/StatsDev#StatsDev-ExistingTables
> It collects:
> 1. Number of Rows
> 2. Number of files
> 3. Size in Bytes
> If table/partition is big, the operation would take time since it will open all files and scan all data.
> It would be nice to support fast operation to gather statistics which doesn't require to open all files:
> 1. Number of files
> 2. Size in Bytes
> Potential syntax is 
> ANALYZE TABLE tablename [PARTITION(partcol1[=val1], partcol2[=val2], ...)] COMPUTE STATISTICS [noscan];
> In the future, all statistics without scan can be retrieved via this optional parameter.
