This will give hudi a powerful streaming semantics for collecting stats and writing to metadata table.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked issue #17102 and tracing how the existing RDD chain writes the data table. The work is complete when metadata-table statistics can be collected and written using equivalent streaming semantics, with any required configuration, API, usage, storage-format, and RFC decisions documented.
