### Feature Request / Improvement We are creating tables with large size columns (up to hundreds Mbs), these large size columns normally are some bytes where stats (min/max) does not make sense. Today, for Iceberg tables' data files in parquet, columns stats is enabled by default. The stats for these large size columns consumes lots of memory. More background information is at parquet PR. https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/issues/2521 Similar to metrics, we need table properties to enable/disable parquet column statistics. ### Query engine None ### Willingness to contribute - [x] I can contribute this improvement/feature independently - [ ] I would be willing to contribute this improvement/feature with guidance from the Iceberg community - [ ] I cannot contribute this improvement/feature at this time -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
