**pg_hdr_histogram** is a PostgreSQL extension for exact-latency percentiles.

Most monitoring tools approximate percentiles from fixed buckets. pg_hdr_histogram
stores a full HDR histogram as a first-class type, so `p50` / `p99` / `p99.9` are
measurements (~0.1% relative precision over 6 orders of magnitude), not estimates —
and histograms merge losslessly across time windows and hosts.

- Built on HdrHistogram_c.
- Aggregates `hdr_add` and `hdr_merge`, parallel-safe, `trusted = true`.
- Author: Vladimir Pavliv.
