+This module provides Apache Druid aggregators based on numeric quantiles 
KllFloatsSketch and KllDoublesSketch from [Apache 
DataSketches](https://datasketches.apache.org/) library. KLL quantiles sketch 
is a mergeable streaming algorithm to estimate the distribution of values, and 
approximately answer queries about the rank of a value, probability mass 
function of the distribution (PMF) or histogram, cumulative distribution 
function (CDF), and quantiles (median, min, max, 95th percentile and such). See 
[Quantiles Sketch 
Overview](https://datasketches.apache.org/docs/Quantiles/QuantilesOverview). 
This document applies to both KllFloatsSketch and KllDoublesSketch. Only one of 
them will be used in the examples.
+
+There are three major modes of operation:
+
+1. Ingesting sketches built outside of Druid (say, with Pig or Hive)
+2. Building sketches from raw data during ingestion
+3. Building sketches from raw data at query time
+
+To use this aggregator, make sure you 
[include](../../development/extensions.md#loading-extensions) the extension in 
your config file:
+
+```
+druid.extensions.loadList=["druid-datasketches"]
+```
+
+### Aggregator
+
+The result of the aggregation is a KllFloatsSketch or KllDoublesSketch that is 
the union of all sketches either built from raw data or read from the segments.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type" : "KllDoublesSketch",
+  "name" : <output_name>,
+  "fieldName" : <metric_name>,
+  "k": <parameter that controls size and accuracy>
+ }
+```
+
+|property|description|required?|
+|--------|-----------|---------|
+|type|This String should be "KllFloatsSketch" or "KllDoublesSketch"|yes|
+|name|A String for the output (result) name of the calculation.|yes|
+|fieldName|A String for the name of the input field (can contain sketches or 
raw numeric values).|yes|
+|k|Parameter that determines the accuracy and size of the sketch. Higher k 
means higher accuracy but more space to store sketches. Must be from 8 to 
65535.|no, defaults to 200|
