Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-15397:
-----------------------------------------
Another solution could be OneNullRowIF keeps instance of original IF within it
and uses it at runtime to determine whether there are 0 or more rows.
> metadata-only queries may return incorrect results with empty tables

> Queries like select 1=1 from t group by 1=1 may return rows, based on
> OneNullRowInputFormat, even if the source table is empty. For now, add some
> basic detection of empty tables and turn this off by default (since we can't
> know whether a table is empty or not based on there being some files, without
> reading them).
