   I think we have discussed this for partitions stats too. 
   @rdblue mentioned we cannot have writers to write stats on the fly (with insert, CTAS, update), because it needs bumping the Iceberg spec to V3 as some writers will write stats and some writer will not write stats and it can cause inconsistency. 
   
   we agreed on using ANALYZE syntax or procedure for generating stats until V3 format is ready.
