--------------------------------------
OK, I'll try to extend QuantileSummaries to get ndv's.
> generate histogram information for column

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17074
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Optimizer
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Ron Hu

> We support two kinds of histograms:
> - Equi-width histogram: We have a fixed width for each column interval in
> the histogram. The height of a histogram represents the frequency for those
> column values in a specific interval. For this kind of histogram, its height
> varies for different column intervals. We use the equi-width histogram when
> the number of distinct values is less than 254.
> - Equi-height histogram: For this histogram, the width of column interval
> varies. The heights of all column intervals are the same. The equi-height
> histogram is effective in handling skewed data distribution. We use the equi-
> height histogram when the number of distinct values is equal to or greater
> than 254.
