Description

When 'insert' is used to append (not overrite), the stats don't seem to get updated.

set hive.compute.query.using.stats=true;
 set hive.stats.autogather=true;         
//insert 4 rows
insert into table t2 select * from t1;
select count(*) from t2;
4
//insert 4 again (appending instead of overrite)
insert into table t2 select * from t1;
select count(*) from t2;
4
select * from t2;
