The value that is greater than half of all values and less than half of
all values, also known as the 50% <<esql-agg-percentile>>.

NOTE: Like <<esql-agg-percentile>>, `MEDIAN` is <<esql-agg-percentile-approximate,usually approximate>>.
[WARNING]

`MEDIAN` is also {wikipedia}/Nondeterministic_algorithm[non-deterministic].
This means you can get slightly different results using the same data.
