        Compute a histogram using the provided buckets. The buckets
        are all open to the right except for the last which is closed.
        e.g. [1,10,20,50] means the buckets are [1,10) [10,20) [20,50],
        which means 1<=x<10, 10<=x<20, 20<=x<=50. And on the input of 1
        and 50 we would have a histogram of 1,0,1.

        If your histogram is evenly spaced (e.g. [0, 10, 20, 30]),
        this can be switched from an O(log n) inseration to O(1) per
        element (where n is the number of buckets).

        Buckets must be sorted, not contain any duplicates, and have
        at least two elements.

        If `buckets` is a number, it will generate buckets which are
        evenly spaced between the minimum and maximum of the RDD. For
        example, if the min value is 0 and the max is 100, given `buckets`
        as 2, the resulting buckets will be [0,50) [50,100]. `buckets` must
        be at least 1. An exception is raised if the RDD contains infinity.
        If the elements in the RDD do not vary (max == min), a single bucket
        will be used.

        The return value is a tuple of buckets and histogram.
