   @lirui-apache sure! the Puffin files are currently being deployed to hold 
table statistics.
   The spec changes were added in https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/4945
   and then made visible in TableMetadata in 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/5450
   the whole implementation is still ongoing, so e.g. you cannot _set_ these 
yet on a table (see eg https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/5794)
   
   Note that all the above is centered about certain use-case of the file 
format, namely the table-level statistics.
   The file-level indices probably requires a different set of spec changes and 
API, but the idea is that it could still use Puffin as the container format.
