I tested if this change doesn't cause `compress()` to not be called at all,
and memory consumption to go ubounded, but it appears to be working good - the
mem usage through jmap -histo:live when running `sql("select
approx_percentile(id, array(0.1)) from range(10000000000L)").collect()` remains
stable.
The compress() is being called from `QuantileSummaries.insert()`, so it
seems that the above TODO got resolved at some point.
