/**
 * Greedy equi-height histogram construction algorithm, inspired by the MySQL
 * equi_height implementation(https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/mysql-server/latest/equi__height_8h.html).
 *
 * Given an ordered collection of [value, count] pairs and a maximum bucket
 * size, construct a histogram by inserting values into a bucket while keeping
 * track of its size. If the insertion of a value into a non-empty bucket
 * causes the bucket to exceed the maximum size, create a new empty bucket and
 * continue.
 *
 * The algorithm guarantees a selectivity estimation error of at most ~2 *
 * #values / #buckets, often less. Values with a higher relative frequency are
 * guaranteed to be placed in singleton buckets.
 *
 * The minimum composite bucket size is used to minimize the worst case
 * selectivity estimation error. In general, the algorithm will adapt to the
 * data distribution to minimize the size of composite buckets. The heavy values
 * can be placed in singleton buckets and the remaining values will be evenly
 * spread across the remaining buckets, leading to a lower composite bucket size.
 *
 * Note: The term "value" refers to an entry in a column and the actual value
 * of an entry. The ordered_map is an ordered collection of [distinct value,
 * value count] pairs. For example, a Value_map<String> could contain the pairs ["a", 1], ["b", 2]
 * to represent one "a" value and two "b" values.
 *
 * @param buckets A vector of empty buckets that will be populated with data.
 * @param ordered_map An ordered map of distinct values and their counts.
 * @param max_num_buckets The maximum number of buckets that can be used.
 *
 * @return True if the buckets were successfully built, false otherwise.
