What changes were proposed in this pull request?
For empty/null column, the result of
ApproximatePercentile
is null. Then inApproxCountDistinctForIntervals
, aMatchError
(forendpoints
) will be thrown if we try to generate histogram for that column. Besides, there is no need to generate histogram for such column. In this patch, we exclude such column when generating histogram.How was this patch tested?
Enhanced test cases for empty/null columns.
