----------------------------------------------------------------
I've created two pull requests:
1) For calcite (https://github.com/apache/calcite/pull/455)
2) For the test dataset (https://github.com/vlsi/calcite-test-dataset/pull/21)
2 is needed because the current druid instance does not support the
data-sketches extension needed for thetaSketches. I've also added tests for the
hyperUnique aggregator.

> thetaSketch Support for Druid Adapter
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: CALCITE-1787
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1787
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: druid
> Affects Versions: 1.12.0
> Reporter: Zain Humayun
> Assignee: Julian Hyde
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, the Druid adapter does not support the
> [thetaSketch|http://druid.io/docs/latest/development/extensions-core/datasketches-aggregators.html]
> aggregate type, which is used to measure the cardinality of a column
> quickly. Many Druid instances support theta sketches, so I think it would be
> a nice feature to have.
> I've been looking at the Druid adapter, and propose we add a new DruidType
> called {{thetaSketch}} and then add logic in the {{getJsonAggregation}}
> method in class {{DruidQuery}} to generate the {{thetaSketch}} aggregate.
> This will require accessing information about the columns (what data type
> they are) so that the thetaSketch aggregate is only produced if the column's
> type is {{thetaSketch}}.
> Also, I've noticed that a {{hyperUnique}} DruidType is currently defined, but
> a {{hyperUnique}} aggregate is never produced. Since both are approximate
> aggregators, I could also couple in the logic for {{hyperUnique}}.
> I'd love to hear your thoughts on my approach, and any suggestions you have
> for this feature.
