Sorry for delay.  Working on this now...

> The Percentile class can handle only in-memory data.
> It would be interesting to use an on-line algorithm to estimate quantiles as 
> a storeless statistic.
> An example of such an algorithm is the exponentially weighted stochastic 
> approximation  described in a 2000 paper by Fei Chen ,  Diane Lambert  and 
> José C. Pinheiro "Incremental Quantile Estimation for Massive Tracking" which 
> can be retrieved from CiteSeerX at 
> [http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.105.1580].
