> DrillAvgVarianceConvertlet currently rewrites aggregate functions like avg, 
> stddev, variance to simple computations. 
> Eg: 
> Stddev( x ) => power(
>          (sum(x * x) - sum( x ) * sum( x ) / count( x ))
>          / count( x ),
>          .5)
> Consider the case when the input is an integer. Now the rewrite contains 
> multiplication and division, which will bind to functions that operate on 
> integers however the expected result should be a double and since double has 
> more precision than integer we should be operating on double during the 
> multiplication and division.
