Research direction
Start by reviewing PR 17694, which is cited as the reference for complex and nested field vector statistics. Determine how shredded variants store sub-columns and define the colstats changes needed so those columns support runtime file pruning; the task is done when shredded sub-columns have usable column statistics for query pruning.
