Change subject: IMPALA-3369: Add ALTER TABLE SET COLUMN STATS statement.
......................................................................


Patch Set 2:

Dimitris, I agree that it is arguable what the right fix here is. Here are the 
reasons why I think the current solution is preferable:
1. A manual override for anything metadata/stats related is generally useful.
2. Fixing IMPALA-3562 is a very complex task if you think about dealing with 
incremental stats. You could be in a state where different partitions have 
partial stats for a different set of columns. I think the risk for that fix is 
pretty high.
3. Our compute stats does not compute some stats like numNulls. There simply is 
no way to set them. On the other hand, we also do not rely on them.
