Description
HLL and CMS for rowgroups could help with query planning (getting a sense of data skew) and with cheaply counting approximate distinct values. Both are commutative which means they can be combined across rowgroups (unlike an exact distinct count for example).

Research direction
Start by reviewing how Parquet statistics are represented for rowgroups and how those statistics are consumed during query planning. The issue provides no file or test entry point; done means supporting HLL and CMS statistics that can be combined across rowgroups for approximate distinct counts and data-skew estimation.
