Description

Oracle has "RELY NOVALIDATE" option for constraints.. Could be easier for Hive to start with something like that for PK/FK constraints. So CBO has more information for optimizations. It does not have to actually check if that constraint is relationship is true; it can just "rely" on that constraint..

So it would be helpful with join cardinality estimates, and with cases like this - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13019
