Github user sachingoel0101 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/861#issuecomment-132193111 They're not coupled at all. But both are related to statistics over data sets. This is why I combined them both in one. If you're wondering, there is a JIRA for the column wise statistics as well. [FLINK-2379]. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I'd like to keep them both in one.
