    @wzhfy I am kind of worried about the dependency of Hive metastore.
    
    - Using the same table property names like Hive: Hive metastore could 
change them in an unexpected way (for example, by a Hive metastore bug). The 
behaviors might be different in different metastore versions. However, the 
statistics can be shared by Hive execution and Spark execution. Thus, it could 
benefit the Spark users who are using Hive and Spark together on the same set 
of tables.
    
    - Using the different names, like what we did for data source table schema: 
Spark fully controls them and we just treat the Hive metastore as a persistent 
storage of these statistics. 
    
    - Provided a configuration parameter so that users can control which option 
they preferred? 
    
    This is a design decision we need to make. @rxin @yhuai @hvanhovell
