To use this feature, an "approxHistogram" or "approxHistogramFold" aggregator must be included at
indexing time. The ingestion aggregator can only apply to numeric values. If you use "approxHistogram"
then any input rows missing the value will be considered to have a value of 0, while with "approxHistogramFold"
such rows will be ignored.
To query for results, an "approxHistogramFold" aggregator must be included in the
query.
