Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-18328:
--------------------------------------
The test failures do not appear to be related to the patch. The previous builds
have the same failures and some more. So +1 for me. [~aihuaxu] Could you please
review this when you get a chance? Thanks

> By design, in the {{TAB_COL_STATS}} table of the HMS schema, there should be
> ONE AND ONLY ONE row, representing its statistics, for each column defined in
> hive. A combination of DB_NAME, TABLE_NAME and COLUMN_NAME constitute a
> primary key/unique row.
> Each time the statistics are computed for a column, this row is updated.
> However, if somehow via BDR/replication process, we end up with multiple
> rows in this table for a given column, HMS server to recompute the statistics
> there after.
> So it would be good to detect this data anamoly via the schema validation
> tool.
