Andrew Wang resolved HBASE-6261.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Elliot took care of this, porting the histogram from HADOOP-8541 to HBase in HBASE-6409. Thanks!

> The existing reservoir-sampling based latency metrics in HBase are not well-suited for providing accurate estimates of high-percentile (e.g. 90th, 95th, or 99th) latency. This is a well-studied problem in the literature (see [1] and [2]), the question is determining which methods best suit our needs and then implementing it.
> Ideally, we should be able to estimate these high percentiles with minimal memory and CPU usage as well as minimal error (e.g. 1% error on 90th, or .1% on 99th). It's also desirable to provide this over different time-based sliding windows, e.g. last 1 min, 5 mins, 15 mins, and 1 hour.
> I'll note that this would also be useful in HDFS, or really anywhere latency metrics are kept.
