Review Comment:
   also, how do we deduce what columns have been indexed in MDT CSI? 
   for eg, we have two flows. 
   a. hoodie.metadata.index.column.stats.all_columns.enable = true, where in 
all cols will be enabled. 
   b. hoodie.metadata.index.column.stats.column.list set to list of columns to 
be indexed. 
   
   So, when we are looking to apply data skipping on the query side, should we 
check for these configs and decided whether a particular col is indexed by CSI 
or not ?
