Hi, I've updated the arrow::ArrayStatistics implementation: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/43273
It's a separated PR of the previous PR: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/42133 The new PR doesn't include Apache Parquet integration. It just adds arrow::ArrayStatistics. We'll add Apache Parquet integration after we introduce arrow::ArrayStatistics. Changes: * Remove Apache Parquet integration * Remove arrow::TypedArrayStatistics * Rename arrow::ArrayStatistics::ElementBufferType to arrow::ArrayStatistics::ValueType * Rename arrow::ArrayStatistics::{min,max}_buffer to arrow::ArrayStatistics::{min,max} * Add std::string and std::string_view to arrow::ArrayStatistics::ValueType for string/binary values If there is no objection, I'll merge this in the next week.
