Would love to help contribute here, especially with work around Range partitioning and dynamic filters (@jayshrivastava)

[alamb]

absolutely -- I think we should highlight range partitioning as a key new feature of DataFusion 55

Not sure why this was assigned to @mbutrovich -- I am taking a shot at it (I have an agent drafting a version now)

[gene-bordegaray]

Nice, let me know if / when its ok to drop some comments and revisions. Thank you 🙇

[alamb]

Thanks @gene-bordegaray -- if you want to propose a section for range partitioning (or any other topic) please just post it (either as a PR to my branch or as a comment) and I'll incorporate it
