Zhenhua Wang updated SPARK-17074:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
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.  

We first use [SPARK-18000] to compute equi-width histograms (for both numeric 
and string types) or endpoints of equi-height histograms (for numeric type 
only). Then, if we get endpoints of a equi-height histogram, we need to compute 
ndv's between those endpoints by [SPARK-17997] to form the equi-height 
histogram.

This Jira incorporates three Jiras mentioned above to support needed 
aggregation functions. We need to resolve them before this one.
