James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-2702:
---------------------------------------
Stats are based on KeyValue.getLength() which likely doesn't take into account
compression or encodings. Can we get at the on-disk size of a KeyValue?
FWIW, the bytes count is more of a relative measure of one query versus
another, rather than an absolute IMHO.
> Show estimate rows and bytes touched in explain plan.

> We can already estimate the size of a table (both rows and uncompressed
> bytes) with q query like this:
> {code}
> SELECT physical_name AS table_name, SUM(guide_posts_row_count) AS est_rows,
> SUM(guide_posts_width) AS est_size from SYSTEM.STATS GROUP BY physical_name;
> {code}
> During the planning phase we have more information, though. So we can report
> the actual numbers for a query during an explain since we have that info
> there anyway (we filtered the guidepost already with the key info provided in
> the query).
> I might whip up a quick patch for this.
> (Could also go further and add a est_count, est_size UDF for this, but that
> would be a bit harder to get hooked up at the right places, I think, and the
> meaning would be ambiguous)
