> I went through the PR, but I'm not convinced that we need a different type for PartitionStatsV3. We don't have different type for TableMetadata for different spec versions. We just added the new optional fields which might not be filled, and kept the other fields optional. Table metadata is JSON file and json can have optional fields and can omit during the write/read serialization. But this is schema based parquet or avro file. If we see the manifest, we do have like `V1Metadata.java`, `V2Metadata.java`, `V3Metadata.java` . Similarly I followed a new object. Plus I felt it is clean for v2 writers or readers to no have the members of v3 (as null) when they read it. Lastly, `PartitionStats` is `StructLike` and get and set cannot accept format version. So, we may need code duplication and need to store `version` info for `PartitionStats` which is not a good idea. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
