Hi @Yicong-Huang, Thanks for pointing this out. I see the concern about duplicating the existing result panel table statistics. The distinction I had in mind is that the current result panel statistics are primarily for interactively viewing statistics after an operator emits a table, while this proposed operator would expose those statistics as an actual workflow output table. That would allow the summary statistics to be consumed by downstream operators, exported, saved, compared across workflow runs, or used as part of a repeatable data-profiling / cleaning workflow. For example, a user could run this operator after loading a dataset and then feed the generated summary table into later workflow steps instead of only inspecting the statistics manually in the UI. If this workflow-output use case is not considered useful enough for Texera, I understand that this may duplicate the existing result panel feature. In that case, I’d be happy to redirect the work toward improving or extending the existing table statistics feature instead if needed. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
