Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-6500: --------------------------------- [~leftylev] This looks good to me, although my knowledge is limited about stats. Only comment is there seems to be an un-needed dot on the configuration wiki page: jdbc(:.<database>) I think it makes sense to fix that as you suggested in HIVE-6586. Thanks! PS Yes , I think so. On [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Home|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Home], it's not listed in the 'children' list on the left.
