    The problem with processing only every n-th element is that precision would 
be affected, and the algorithms are already estimating as it is. I am planning 
to measure performance overhead but haven't done it so far. 
    
    I have removed unnecessary checks inside the "process" function. The point 
of them was to allow the user to configure which stats wished to be tracked, by 
means of the OperatorStatisticsConfig class. This way for example an 
OperatorStatisticsAccumulator could be defined, but only used to track count 
distinct. Do you think this makes sense, or is it preferable to create multiple 
accumulators, one for each type of statistic? I was avoiding this because the 
common case would be to want all 4 statistics (max, min, heavy hitters and 
count distinct), and I didn't want the user to have to create 4 separate 
accumulators for this purpose.

> One of the major problems related to the optimizer at the moment is the lack 
> of proper statistics.
> With the introduction of staged execution, it is possible to instrument the 
> runtime code with a statistics facility that collects the required 
> information for optimizing the next execution stage.
> I would therefore like to contribute code that can be used to gather basic 
> statistics for the (intermediate) result of dataflows (e.g. min, max, count, 
> count distinct) and make them available to the job manager.
> Before I start, I would like to hear some feedback form the other users.
> In particular, to handle skew (e.g. on grouping) it might be good to have 
> some sort of detailed sketch about the key distribution of an intermediate 
> result. I am not sure whether a simple histogram is the most effective way to 
> go. Maybe somebody would propose another lightweight sketch that provides 
> better accuracy.
