+//! Statistics types for Delta tables
+//!
+//! This module contains types for representing file statistics in both JSON and parsed formats.
+//! Statistics are used for data skipping during query execution and are stored in checkpoint files.

+/// Parsed statistics for a file (alternative to JSON stats string)
+///
+/// This represents the structured form of file statistics that can be stored
+/// directly in checkpoints as `stats_parsed` instead of as a JSON string.
+///
+/// The minValues, maxValues, and nullCount fields contain dynamic structs
+/// whose schema matches the table's data columns (using physical column names).
+///
+/// # Schema
+///
+/// The stats_parsed schema in checkpoints is:
+/// ```text
+/// struct<
+///   numRecords: long,
+///   minValues: struct<col1: type1, col2: type2, ...>,  // Dynamic per table
+///   maxValues: struct<col1: type1, col2: type2, ...>,  // Dynamic per table
+///   nullCount: struct<col1: long, col2: long, ...>,    // Dynamic per table
+///   tightBounds: boolean
+/// >
+/// ```
