    Description

      hive supports analyze command to gather statistics from existing tables/partition https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/StatsDev#StatsDev-ExistingTables

      It collects:
      1. Number of Rows
      2. Number of files
      3. Size in Bytes

      If table/partition is big, the operation would take time since it will open all files and scan all data.

      It would be nice to support fast operation to gather statistics which doesn't require to open all files:
      1. Number of files
      2. Size in Bytes

      Potential syntax is
      ANALYZE TABLE tablename [PARTITION(partcol1[=val1], partcol2[=val2], ...)] COMPUTE STATISTICS [noscan];

      In the future, all statistics without scan can be retrieved via this optional parameter.
