    Yes. However, we know the total # of samples, and # of nonzero in each 
column, so if # of samples and # of nonzero are different, and we find the min 
is some positive number, then the actually min will be zero since we have zero 
somewhere which we don't add into summarizer. 
    
    For max, the same logic will be applied. 
    
    For mean, we can fix this effect by       realMean(i) = currMean(i) * 
(nnz(i) / totalCnt)
    
    As a result, for sparse dataset, we only need to add the nonzero into the 
summarizer, and it will be O(\bar{n}) instead of O(n) where \bar{n} is the 
average nonzero elements in one sample.
