   @findepi shouldn't you be able to just change any write only commit into a transaction with both updates the append and updates the statistics?
   
   Like
   ```
   AppendFiles(A, B, C)
   ```
   becomes
   ```
   Transaction Begin
     AppendFiles(A, B, C)
     Update Statistics (A, B ,C)
   Transaction End
   Commit Transaction // Creates one Snapshot which both appends files and updates statistics
   ```
   
   Then it's up to the framework to build those transactions when required. This would be similar to the mergeSchema functions in Spark.
