---------------------------------
Description:
Equi-height histogram is effective in handling skewed data distribution.
For equi-height histogram, the heights of all bins(intervals) are the same. The
default number of bins we use is 254.
We first use [SPARK-18000] to compute equi-width histograms (for both numeric
and string types) or endpoints of equi-height histograms (for numeric type
only). Then, if we get endpoints of a equi-height histogram, we need to compute
ndv's between those endpoints by [SPARK-17997] to form the equi-height
histogram.
This Jira incorporates three Jiras mentioned above to support needed
aggregation functions. We need to resolve them before this one.
was:
We support two kinds of histograms:
- Equi-width histogram: We have a fixed width for each column interval in
the histogram. The height of a histogram represents the frequency for those
column values in a specific interval. For this kind of histogram, its height
varies for different column intervals. We use the equi-width histogram when the
number of distinct values is less than 254.
- Equi-height histogram: For this histogram, the width of column interval
varies. The heights of all column intervals are the same. The equi-height
histogram is effective in handling skewed data distribution. We use the equi-
height histogram when the number of distinct values is equal to or greater than
254.
