I agree with @raunaqmorarka's perspective — an unpartitioned table can be naturally modeled as a partitioned table with a single partition. Reusing the existing partition statistics infrastructure keeps the design consistent and avoids introducing a separate mechanism for table-level statistics. Looking at the current implementation, the restriction to partitioned tables is enforced by a few precondition checks in `PartitionStatsHandler` and `PartitionStatistics`, while the spec itself does not explicitly prohibit unpartitioned tables. The `EMPTY_PARTITION_FIELD` constant already exists to represent an empty partition struct, which could serve as the single partition entry for unpartitioned tables. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
