Edward Capriolo commented on CASSANDRA-12643:
---------------------------------------------
Also I wanted to point out something. The EstimatedHistogram is used for
non-reporting cases. If you do a usage search there are some internal
structures that are sized based on this. While in practice it may not be a
problem, I am struggling with an "estimator" throw throws a RuntimeException.
Afterall it is an estimate. None of the things that call it check and do
anything for this exception. Theoretically this could cause a process to never
complete. Thinking about two methods. One that always returns data subclasses
do not bubble up into reporter. Possibly a second with a check/unchecked
exception so that things calling it can have a fall back logic.
