[SPARK-17581] [SQL] Invalidate Statistics After Some ALTER TABLE Commands ### What changes were proposed in this pull request? In the recent statistics-related work, our focus is on how to generate and store the statistics. After `Analyze Table` commands, the statistics will not be changed unless users run the command again. However, Hive behaves differently. For example, `ALTER TABLE SET LOCATION` will invalidate the statistics, including `numRows` and `rawDataSize`. ``` hive> describe formatted t2; ... Location: hdfs://6b68a24121f4:9000/user/hive/warehouse/t2 Table Type: MANAGED_TABLE Table Parameters: COLUMN_STATS_ACCURATE true numFiles 4 numRows 2 rawDataSize 2 totalSize 4 transient_lastDdlTime 1464590855 ... ``` ``` hive> alter table t2 set location 'hdfs://6b68a24121f4:9000/user/hive/warehouse/t1'; OK Time taken: 0.113 seconds ``` ``` hive> describe formatted t2; ... Location: hdfs://6b68a24121f4:9000/user/hive/warehouse/t1 Table Type: MANAGED_TABLE Table Parameters: COLUMN_STATS_ACCURATE false last_modified_by root last_modified_time 1474178025 numFiles 4 numRows -1 rawDataSize -1 totalSize 4 ... ``` This PR tries to fix the related issues. ### How was this patch tested?
