>                 Key: ARROW-8902
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8902
>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Rust - DataFusion
>            Reporter: Alex Gaynor
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, as far as I can tell, when you perform a `select count(*) from dataset` in datafusion against a parquet dataset, the way this is implemented is by doing a scan on column 0, and counting up all of the rows (specifically I think it counts the # of rows in each batch).
>  
> However, for the specific case of just counting _everythign_ in a parquet file, you can just read the rowcount from the footer metadata, so it's O(1) instead of O(n)
