1. fileName: manifest file name.
2. fileSize: manifest file size.
3. numAddedFiles: number added files in manifest.
4. numDeletedFiles: number deleted files in manifest.
5. partitionStats: partition stats, the minimum and maximum values of partition fields in this manifest are beneficial for skipping certain manifest files during queries, it is a SimpleStats.
6. schemaId: schema id when writing this manifest file.

Manifest #

Manifest includes meta of several data files or changelog files or table-index files. Its name contains UUID, it is an avro file.

The changes of the file are saved in the manifest, and the file can be added or deleted. Manifests should be in an orderly manner, and the same file may be added or deleted multiple times. The last version should be read. This design can make commit lighter to support file deletion generated by compaction.
