About this call

Histogram is a variant of summary where field values are summarized within ranges, as specified by breaks. The resulting histogram is returned as a list with one more element than the number of breaks. Breaks=1,2,10 would return values from 0-1,1-2,2-10,10+. This function only works with numeric field values.  This call returns real-time data.
