This was without using Kryo -- if I use kryo, I got errors about buffer
overflows (see above):

com.esotericsoftware.kryo.KryoException: Buffer overflow. Available: 5,
required: 8

Just calling colStats doesn't actually compute those statistics, does it?
It looks like the computation is only carried out once you call the .mean()
method.
