Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-4435:
----------------------------------------
Following tests failed:
* compute_stats_double.q
* compute_stats_long.q
* compute_stats_string.q
I am assuming since we have better estimates now, we just need to update .q.out
files for these. Can you verify and if so can you update the patch with it?

> The current implementation of Flajolet-Martin estimator to estimate the
> number of distinct values doesn't use hash functions that are pairwise
> independent. This is problematic because the input values don't distribute
> uniformly. When run on large TPC-H data sets, this leads to a huge
> discrepancy for primary key columns. Primary key columns are typically a
> monotonically increasing sequence.
