hive aggregate query takes wrong value from cache

Question

I am running aggregate query on hive session.

hive>select count(1) from table_name;

For the first time it runs mapreduce program and returns result. But for the consecutive runs later in the day it returns same count from the cache(though table is getting updated hourly). which is wrong count.

tried:-

set hive.metastore.aggregate.stats.cache.enabled=false

hive.cache.expr.evaluation=false

set hive.fetch.task.conversion=none

But no luck. Using Hive 1.2.1.2.3.4.29-5 hive version. Thanks

Disable using stats for query calculation:

set hive.compute.query.using.stats=false;
