I am using CDH 5.5.2 I have checked cloudera's document on this particular hive statement and looks like I am executing the right query. Here is the link to it. Not sure what the MismatchedTockenException is. Any help is on this, please?

@Alex Raj

Have you run compute stats before running show table stats?

[#3]

No @Sindhu.

I have not

[#4]

@Alex Raj

Were you able to see the stats post compute stats on the table?

[#5]

Hi @Sindhu, thanks for your followup. I was able to get the stats using the below query. Thank you again for your effort.

analyze table sampletable partition (year) compute statistics noscan;
