Description

Computing column stats fails when using fully qualified table name. Issuing a "USE db" and using only the table name succeeds.

hive -e "ANALYZE TABLE somedb.some_table COMPUTE STATISTICS FOR COLUMNS int_col"

org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: NoSuchObjectException(message:Table somedb.some_table for which stats is gathered doesn't exist.)
