raulcd opened a new issue, #47449: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/47449
### Describe the enhancement requested Currently we drop all statistics if `SortOrder` is `UNKNOWN`. This seems too broad and there are some statistics, like `null_count` that could be maintained. https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/6f6138b7eedece0841b04f4e235e3bedf5a3ee29/cpp/src/parquet/metadata.cc#L330-L335 Clearing `min/max` but allowing to keep `null_count` when `SortOrder` is `UNKNOWN` would allow users to use them. We could probably also keep `num_values` and `distinct_count`. ### Component(s) C++, Parquet -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
