Slightly off topic (and not to dissuade from this good work which is much
clearer), but as a bit of stellar code golf, I did find out that you can do
this with `REDUCE`.
For Numerical types (note val is mixed numeric types):
```
[Stellar]>>> val := [1.2,2,3]
[Stellar]>>> REDUCE(val, (ret, x) -> ret > x ? x : ret, GET_FIRST(val))
1.2
[Stellar]>>> MIN(val)
1.2
[Stellar]>>> REDUCE(val, (ret, x) -> ret < x ? x : ret, GET_FIRST(val))
3
[Stellar]>>> MAX(val)
3
```
For non-numeric but comparable types:
```
[Stellar]>>> val := [ 'casey', 'stella' ]
[Stellar]>>> MAX(val)
stella
[Stellar]>>> REDUCE(val, (ret, x) -> ret < x ? x : ret, GET_FIRST(val))
stella
[Stellar]>>> MIN(val)
casey
[Stellar]>>> REDUCE(val, (ret, x) -> ret > x ? x : ret, GET_FIRST(val))
casey
```
> Add MAX & MIN Stellar functions

> Key: METRON-1286
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1286
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.4.1
> Reporter: Jasper Knulst
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: features
> Fix For: 0.4.2
>
>
> Currently Stellar lacks straightforward MAX & MIN functions that take just a
> list of values as input.
> The functions STATS_MAX and STATS_MIN only take the internal Stellar
> statistics object as input.
> Having MAX and MIN will be easier and understandable to most
