  Singleton histogram.
 
  This file defines the Singleton histogram. A Singleton histogram is a
  histogram where only a value and it's frequency is stored. It allows us to
  use less storage space, as well as estimating selectivity a bit more
  efficient.
 
  A singleton histogram converted to a JSON object, follows the following
  "schema":
 
  {
    // Last time the histogram was updated. As of now, this means "when the
    // histogram was created" (incremental updates are not supported). Date/time
    // is given in UTC.
    // -- J_DATETIME
    "last-updated": "2015-11-04 15:19:51.000000",
 
    // Histogram type. Always "singleton" for singleton histograms.
    // -- J_STRING
    "histogram-type": "singleton",
 
    // Fraction of NULL values. This is the total fraction of NULL values in the
    // original data set.
    // -- J_DOUBLE
    "null-values": 0.1,
 
    // Histogram buckets. May be an empty array, if for instance the source
    // only contains NULL values.
    // -- J_ARRAY
    "buckets":
    [
      [
        // Value
        // -- Data type depends on the source column.
        42,
 
        // Cumulative frequency
        // -- J_DOUBLE
