Siddharth Seth commented on HIVE-11786:
---------------------------------------
Quick note.
I created the following indexes.
{code}
CREATE INDEX COLNAME_TBLID_IDX ON TAB_COL_STATS (COLUMN_NAME, TBL_ID);
CREATE INDEX COLNAME_PARTID_IDX ON PART_COL_STATS (COLUMN_NAME, PART_ID);
CREATE INDEX PARTNAME_IDX ON PARTITIONS (PART_NAME);
CREATE INDEX TBLNAME_IDX ON TBLS (TBL_NAME);
{code}
This did not improve performance.
I'm creating the remaining 2 indexes (even though I don't think they're
required given they're part of a multi column index) right now. Will post an
update once the index creation is done.

> The stats tables such as TAB_COL_STATS, PART_COL_STATS have redundant columns
> such as DB_NAME, TABLE_NAME, PARTITION_NAME since these tables already have
> foreign key like TBL_ID, or PART_ID referencing to TBLS or PARTITIONS.
> These redundant columns violate database normalization rules and cause a lot
> of inconvenience (sometimes difficult) in column stats related feature
> implementation. For example, when renaming a table, we have to update
> TABLE_NAME column in these tables as well which is unnecessary.
> This JIRA is first to deprecate the use of these columns at HMS code level. A
> followed JIRA is to be opened to focus on DB schema change and upgrade.
