table/partition level statistics
--------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-1361
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1361
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: Sub-task
    Affects Versions: 0.6.0
            Reporter: Ning Zhang
            Assignee: Ahmed M Aly
             Fix For: 0.6.0


At the first step, we gather table-level stats for non-partitioned table and 
partition-level stats for partitioned table. Future work could extend the table 
level stats to partitioned table as well. 

There are 3 major milestones in this subtask: 
 1) extend the insert statement to gather table/partition level stats 
on-the-fly.
 2) extend metastore API to support storing and retrieving stats for a 
particular table/partition. 
 3) add an ANALYZE TABLE [PARTITION] statement in Hive QL to gather stats for 
existing tables/partitions. 

The proposed stats are:

Partition-level stats: 
  - number of rows
  - total size in bytes
  - number of files
  - max, min, average row sizes
  - max, min, average file sizes

Table-level stats in addition to partition level stats:
  - number of partitions
