Jihong MA commented on SPARK-11720:
-----------------------------------

Also, for mean, we treat Decimal differently vs. other numeric type, all other 
numeric type all converted to Double, for Decimal type, we continue to keep its 
type but increase its p/s to avoid precison loss.  so for types that converted 
to Double, we can return Double.NaN, for decimal type, we can't return a double 
value but still null? 

> Return Double.NaN instead of null for Mean and Average when count = 0

> change the default behavior of mean in case of count = 0 from null to 
> Double.NaN, to make it inline with all other univariate stats function.
