+ Compute a histogram using the provided buckets. The buckets
+ are all open to the right except for the last which is closed.
+ e.g. [1,10,20,50] means the buckets are [1,10) [10,20) [20,50],
+ which means 1<=x<10, 10<=x<20, 20<=x<=50. And on the input of 1
+ and 50 we would have a histogram of 1,0,1.
+
+ If your histogram is evenly spaced (e.g. [0, 10, 20, 30]),
+ this can be switched from an O(log n) inseration to O(1) per
+ element(where n = # buckets), if you set `even` to True.
+
+ Buckets must be sorted and not contain any duplicates, must be
+ at least two elements.
+
+ If `buckets` is a number, it will generates buckets which is
+ evenly spaced between the minimum and maximum of the RDD. For
+ example, if the min value is 0 and the max is 100, given buckets
+ as 2, the resulting buckets will be [0,50) [50,100]. buckets must
+ be at least 1 If the RDD contains infinity, NaN throws an exception
+ If the elements in RDD do not vary (max == min) always returns
+ a single bucket.
+
+ It will return an tuple of buckets and histogram.

Although this is fragile, nothing bad will happen if this breaks because
we'll end up re-raising the exception on line 908.
