Hive Compute Statistics not showing any statistics while describe table

[#1]

Trying to see statistics on a particular column. I executed the ANALYZE command first and then tried to see the stats by DESCRIBE FORMATTED <table_name> <col_name>. I cant see any values in this. Any idea why its not showing any values?

I tried MSCK and analyzed the table again and checked for stats. No luck so far.

Thanks

I suspect that the table is partitioned because of which the "describe formatted" does not show any stats related information.

Try running "describe extended" for particular partition spec.

@Sindhu, Thanks for the reply.

I tried the same and it wont return any values. But the compute statistics command worked fine though

Yes, second that, observing the same behaviour surprisingly.

desc formatted/extended shows no values for the column stats for the partition even after analyse. Is this a reported bug?

Below Statement worked for me finally .

hive> desc formatted testdb.table col_name partition (data_dt='20180715');
