Zhenhua Wang 655f6f86f8 [SPARK-22208][SQL] Improve percentile_approx by not rounding up targetError and starting from index 0
## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Currently percentile_approx never returns the first element when percentile is in (relativeError, 1/N], where relativeError default 1/10000, and N is the total number of elements. But ideally, percentiles in [0, 1/N] should all return the first element as the answer.

For example, given input data 1 to 10, if a user queries 10% (or even less) percentile, it should return 1, because the first value 1 already reaches 10%. Currently it returns 2.

Based on the paper, targetError is not rounded up, and searching index should start from 0 instead of 1. By following the paper, we should be able to fix the cases mentioned above.

## How was this patch tested?

Added a new test case and fix existing test cases.

Apache Spark

Spark is a fast and general cluster computing system for Big Data. It provides high-level APIs in Scala, Java, Python, and R, and an optimized engine that supports general computation graphs for data analysis. It also supports a rich set of higher-level tools including Spark SQL for SQL and DataFrames, MLlib for machine learning, GraphX for graph processing, and Spark Streaming for stream processing.

Online Documentation

You can find the latest Spark documentation, including a programming guide, on the project web page

Python Packaging

This README file only contains basic information related to pip installed PySpark. This packaging is currently experimental and may change in future versions (although we will do our best to keep compatibility). Using PySpark requires the Spark JARs, and if you are building this from source please see the builder instructions at "Building Spark".

The Python packaging for Spark is not intended to replace all of the other use cases. This Python packaged version of Spark is suitable for interacting with an existing cluster (be it Spark standalone, YARN, or Mesos) - but does not contain the tools required to setup your own standalone Spark cluster. You can download the full version of Spark from the Apache Spark downloads page.

NOTE: If you are using this with a Spark standalone cluster you must ensure that the version (including minor version) matches or you may experience odd errors.

Python Requirements

At its core PySpark depends on Py4J (currently version 0.10.6), but additional sub-packages have their own requirements (including numpy and pandas).
