If a column is uninteresing, we get the row count from the non-interesting columns metadata. Seems round-about. Should we get the row count from the table itself? That is, the indirection through non-interesting columns to get table metadata seems awkward. Also, if we do have column stats, we get the row count from the table metadata. This raises the question: by column value count, do we mean NDV (number of distinct values)? Otherwise, the column value count for top-level columns is defined as the same as the row count whether the column is interesting or not. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
