+#### Partition statistics
+
+Partition statistics files are based on [Partition Statistics file 
spec](#partition-statistics-file). Partition statistics are informational. A 
reader can choose to
+ignore partition statistics information. Partition statistics support is not 
required to read the table correctly.
+Each table snapshot may be associated with at most one partition statistic 
file and the table can contain many partition statistics files associated with 
different table snapshots.
+A writer can optionally write the partition statistics file during each write 
operation. If the statistics file is written for the specific snapshot,
+it must be accurate and must be registered in the table metadata file to be 
considered as a valid statistics file for the reader.

table's snapshot the partition statistics file is associated with. |
+| _required_ | _required_ | **`statistics-file-path`** | `string` | Path of

data sequence number of the Iceberg table's snapshot the partition statistics 
was computed from. |

Review Comment:
   How about removing `max-data-sequence-number` temporarily, so that we can 
move on this PR? We can get a sequence number from a snapshot without any 
issue. And we can always add the `max-data-sequence-number` back if necessary.
