> Key: SPARK-23091
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-23091
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ML, Tests
> Affects Versions: 2.2.1
> Reporter: Kuang Chen
> Assignee: Apache Spark
> Priority: Minor

> Currently, test for `approxQuantile` (quantile estimation algorithm) checks whether estimated quantile is within +- 2*`relativeError` from the true quantile. See the code below:
> [https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/core/src/test/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/DataFrameStatSuite.scala#L157]
> However, based on the original paper by Greenwald and Khanna, the estimated quantile is guaranteed to be within +- `relativeError` from the true quantile. Using the double "tolerance" is misleading and incorrect, and we should fix it.
