----------------------------------------------------------------

According to SQL-standard, percentile_approx should return null for zero 
elements rather than throws IndexOutOfBoundsException in reduce.

    @Override
    public Object terminate(AggregationBuffer agg) throws HiveException {
      PercentileAggBuf myagg = (PercentileAggBuf) agg;

      if (myagg.histogram.getUsedBins() < 1) { // SQL standard - return null 
for zero elements

        return null;
      } else {
        assert(myagg.quantiles != null);
        return new DoubleWritable(myagg.histogram.quantile(myagg.quantiles[0]));
      }
    }

> In GenericUDAFPercentileApproxEvaluator, the method `merge` should process an 
> ArrayList which name is partialHistogram. Normally, the basic structure of 
> partialHistogram is [npercentiles, percentile0, percentile1..., nbins, 
> bin0.x, bin0.y, bin1.x, bin1.y,...]. However, if we are process NULL(empty 
> set) column values, the partialHistoram will only contains [npercentiles(0), 
> nbins(10000)]. That's the reason why the stacktrace shows a strange row data: 
> {"key":{},"value":{"_col0":[0.0,10000.0]}}
> Before we call histogram#merge (on-line hisgoram algorithm from paper: 
> http://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume11/ben-haim10a/ben-haim10a.pdf ), the 
> partialHistogram should remove elements which store percentiles like 
> `partialHistogram.subList(0, nquantiles+1).clear();`. In the case of empty 
> set, GenericUDAFPercentileApproxEvaluator will not remove percentiles. 
> Consequently, NumericHistogram will merge a list which contains only 2 
> elements([0, 10000.0]) and throws IndexOutOfBoundsException.
