About
A histogram generator is a column data generator that generates a value according to its chance factor.

Properties
Buckets
This generator has only one property that defines the histogram namely, the buckets.
A bucket is a value and its chance factor
Example if you want to simulate that people may work the week-end once every 10 weeks, you will define this bucket list
buckets:
Monday: 10
Tuesday: 10
Wednesday: 10
Thursday: 10
Friday: 10
Saturday: 1
Sunday: 1
