> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement

> We have supported iceberg statistics recently. e.g. _HIVE-24928_ and
> {_}HIVE-27158{_}. And we can use iceberg stats to optimize some queries like
> {_}HIVE-27347{_}.
> However, in current hive codebase, we prohibit using EXTERNAL table stats and
> this change was introduced by HIVE-11266. Therefore, The EXTERNAL type
> iceberg table can not use stats to optimize query.
>
> In {_}HIVE-24928{_}, we have added method
> *_HiveStorageHandler::canProvideBasicStatistics()_* to indicate iceberg can
> have the ability to provide stats. That is to say, Although Iceberg table is
> regard as EXTERNAL table in Hive, it can provide details statistics.
>
> Therefore, here i suggest we should check both table type and boolean result
> of *_HiveStorageHandler::canProvideBasicStatistics()_* to determine if the
> table can use stats.
