Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful details as possible.

I found these two PRs to disable statistics, but they are available only in 1.15+ 
#2989
#3056

Is there any other way to disable statistics in 1.13.1?

Thanks for reporting this! You're right, those mentioned commits are not ported to legacy branches. Could you use the version 1.15.0?

I can't because I'm using Spark 3.5.

I was wondering if possible to somehow disable stats in 1.13.1, even if it is more complex than just setting a flag.

I agree with you that it seems impossible to disable stats in the past. Therefore I made those PRs to fix them. Perhaps you may want to set parquet.statistics.truncate.length and parquet.columnindex.truncate.length to 0 to disable stats of BYTE_ARRAY type. These flags can be found at https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/tree/master/parquet-hadoop
