alamb opened a new issue, #16158: URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/16158
Today, when creating tables of parquet files using `CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE` or ListingTables, statistics are not gathered. This is good in the sense that creating the table is fast(er) but subsequent queries might be slower The behavior is clarified in - https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/16157 @davisp suggests that defaulting to collecting statistics would make more sense (and I agree): > I’ll also note that my personal preference would be to default to true purely because it took a surprising amount of work to figure out how to even report #15908 not knowing that statistics collection was a config option. I do see the rationale around the behavior change, though I’d say either way that flag is defaulted is a behavior change and true seems like a saner default. _Originally posted by @davisp in https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/16080#pullrequestreview-2852069846_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
