> DataFrame.describe should return a DataFrame with summary statistics. 
> {code}
> def describe(cols: String*): DataFrame
> {code}
> If cols is empty, then run describe on all numeric columns.
> The returned DataFrame should have 5 rows (count, mean, stddev, min, max) and n + 1 columns. The 1st column is the name of the aggregate function, and the next n columns are the numeric columns of interest in the input DataFrame.
> Similar to Pandas (but removing percentile since accurate percentiles are too expensive to compute for Big Data)
> {code}
> In [19]: df.describe()
> Out[19]: 
>               A         B         C         D
