    Description

      Changing a column's type by ALTER TABLE CHANGE ... leads to column stats for that column failing to persist.

      Therefore every COMPUTE INCREMENTAL STATS after that turn into a full scan, because Impala believes the column doesn't have stats and needs to rescan the table, not to mention the fact that the statistics on that column are permanently wrong.
