   I think the Statistics API is somewhat bad now as it requires (a lot) of 
copying
   
   https://docs.rs/datafusion/latest/datafusion/common/struct.Statistics.html
   
   The `Vec` of ColumnStaitstics
   Each `ColumnStatistics` has a `ScalarValue` which is 64 bytes - so that 
means 4*64 + 2*8 = 272 bytes (probably more) **per column**
   
   The proposed API
   ```rust
       fn partition_statistics(
           &self,
           partition: Option<usize>,
           child_stats: Vec<Statistics>,
       ) -> Result<Statistics>;
   ```
   
   Would require more allocations (the Vec and then owned `Statistics`)
   
   
   What would you all think about starting with some more base refactoring -- 
like for example encapsulating `Statistics` more (e.g. so that we could 
potentially make an ARC/ change its internal representation)?
