@Wes Floyd Here is Hive Stats detail https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/S...
You can view the stored statistics by issuing the DESCRIBE command. Statistics are stored in the Parameters array. Suppose you issue the analyze command for the whole table Table1, then issue the command:
DESCRIBE EXTENDED TABLE1;
then among the output, the following would be displayed:
... , parameters:{numPartitions=
4
, numFiles=
16
, numRows=
2000
, totalSize=
16384
, ...}, ....
