Hi @Dracylfrr after consideration I do think this "column summary statistic" operator is a bit overkill, for two reasons: 1. we do have statistics feature on result table for display quick summary of the columns. 2. to get those statistics as a dataset (for downstream operators to use) we want to direct users to use `Aggregate` operator which is a more standard building block. The column summary operator sounds like a syntax sugar, or a preconfigured aggregation. However, I see this operator can be convenient for users. A better name or a reposition could be introduce a `Describe` operator, so it is not just showing aggregated result of a column, but also to describe a table. The description can up to your definition. WDYT? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
