Description

The ANALYZE TABLE statement collects statistics about the table to be used by the query optimizer to find a better query execution plan.

Syntax

ANALYZE TABLE table_identifier [ partition_spec ]
    COMPUTE STATISTICS [ NOSCAN | FOR COLUMNS col [ , ... ] | FOR ALL COLUMNS ]

Parameters

  • table_identifier

    Specifies a table name, which may be optionally qualified with a database name.

    Syntax: [ database_name. ] table_name

  • partition_spec

    An optional parameter that specifies a comma separated list of key and value pairs for partitions. When specified, partition statistics is returned.

    Syntax: PARTITION ( partition_col_name [ = partition_col_val ] [ , ... ] )

  • [ NOSCAN | FOR COLUMNS col [ , ... ] | FOR ALL COLUMNS ]

    • If no analyze option is specified, ANALYZE TABLE collects the table's number of rows and size in bytes.

    • NOSCAN

      Collects only the table's size in bytes ( which does not require scanning the entire table ).

    • FOR COLUMNS col [ , ... ] | FOR ALL COLUMNS

      Collects column statistics for each column specified, or alternatively for every column, as well as table statistics.

Examples

CREATE TABLE students (name STRING, student_id INT) PARTITIONED BY (student_id);
INSERT INTO students PARTITION (student_id = 111111) VALUES ('Mark');
INSERT INTO students PARTITION (student_id = 222222) VALUES ('John');
