> Currently, test for `approxQuantile` (quantile estimation algorithm) checks 
> whether estimated quantile is within +- 2*`relativeError` from the true 
> quantile. See the code below:
> [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/core/src/test/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/DataFrameStatSuite.scala#L157]
> However, based on the original paper by Greenwald and Khanna, the estimated 
> quantile is guaranteed to be within +- `relativeError` from the true 
> quantile. Using the double "tolerance" is misleading and incorrect, and we 
> should fix it.
