/**
 * This UDF is to get a quantile value from a QuantilesSketch. A single value for a
 * given fraction is returned. The fraction represents a normalized rank and must be
 * from 0 to 1 inclusive. For example, the fraction of 0.5 corresponds to 50th percentile,
 * which is the median value of the distribution (the number separating the higher half
 * of the probability distribution from the lower half).
