Hi Ryan, I don't understand how the Parquet format manifests would resolve the type promotion issue here. Could you please provide more detailed information to help me understand it? Thank you.

The spec states that both the lower_bound and upper_bound stats data are encoded as binary type <https://iceberg.apache.org/spec/#manifests> and stored in the form of map<int, binary>. So it seems that even if we move to Parquet manifests, the original type information is still missing. Am I understanding this correctly, or have I overlooked something? Thanks, Yujiang
