-------------------------------------------------
May need to add test cases to verify the collected stats in the Statistics
Collector.
> Store statistics guideposts as VARBINARY

> There's a potential problem with storing the guideposts as a VARBINARY ARRAY,
> as pointed out by PHOENIX-1329. We'd run into this issue if we're collecting
> stats for a table with a trailing VARBINARY row key column if the value
> contained embedded null bytes. Because of this, we're better off storing
> guideposts as VARBINARY and serializing/deserializing in the following manner:
> <byte length as vint><bytes><byte length as vint><bytes>...
> We should also store as a separate KeyValue column the total number of
> guideposts. So the schema of SYSTEM.STATS would look like this now instead:
> {code}
> public static final String CREATE_STATS_TABLE_METADATA =
> "CREATE TABLE " + SYSTEM_CATALOG_SCHEMA + ".\"" +
> SYSTEM_STATS_TABLE + "\"(\n" +
> // PK columns
> PHYSICAL_NAME + " VARCHAR NOT NULL," +
> COLUMN_FAMILY + " VARCHAR," +
> REGION_NAME + " VARCHAR," +
> GUIDE_POSTS + " VARBINARY," +
> GUIDE_POSTS_COUNT + " SMALLINT," +
> MIN_KEY + " VARBINARY," +
> MAX_KEY + " VARBINARY," +
> LAST_STATS_UPDATE_TIME+ " DATE, "+
> "CONSTRAINT " + SYSTEM_TABLE_PK_NAME + " PRIMARY KEY ("
> + PHYSICAL_NAME + ","
> + COLUMN_FAMILY + ","+ REGION_NAME+"))\n" +
> // TODO: should we support versioned stats?
> // Install split policy to prevent a physical table's stats from
> being split across regions.
> HTableDescriptor.SPLIT_POLICY + "='" +
> MetaDataSplitPolicy.class.getName() + "'\n";
> {code}
> Then the serialization code in StatisticsTable.addStats() would need to
> change to populate the GUIDE_POSTS_COUNT and serialize the GUIDE_POSTS in the
> new format.
> The deserialization code is isolated to StatisticsUtil.readStatisitics(). It
> would need to read the GUIDE_POSTS_COUNT first for estimated sizing, and then
> deserialize the GUIDE_POSTS in the new format.
