Description

`shouldIgnoreStatistics` in parquet-mr always accepts statistics for files written by other applications including parquet-cpp. We must fix this to correctly handle statistics written by parquet-cpp versions.

Research direction

Start by locating shouldIgnoreStatistics in parquet-mr and review how it decides whether statistics from other applications are usable. Compare the handling required for files written by parquet-cpp versions, using the linked PARQUET-1017 and migration documentation for context. Done means parquet-mr correctly handles those statistics without accepting incompatible metadata.
