// For the time histogram type, we use an HDR histogram.
// Values are placed in super-buckets based solely on the most
// significant set bit. Thus, super-buckets are power-of-2 sized.
// Values are then placed into sub-buckets based on the value of
// the next timeHistSubBucketBits most significant bits. Thus,
// sub-buckets are linear within a super-bucket.
//
// Therefore, the number of sub-buckets (timeHistNumSubBuckets)
// defines the error. This error may be computed as
// 1/timeHistNumSubBuckets*100%. For example, for 16 sub-buckets
// per super-bucket the error is approximately 6%.
//
// The number of super-buckets (timeHistNumSuperBuckets), on the
// other hand, defines the range. To reserve room for sub-buckets,
// bit timeHistSubBucketBits is the first bit considered for
// super-buckets, so super-bucket indices are adjusted accordingly.
//
// As an example, consider 45 super-buckets with 16 sub-buckets.
