Latest information from ISP RAS guys: them have made good progress since
February: them have rewritten most of methods of Scan, Aggregate and
Join to LLVM API. Also then implemented automatic translation of
PostgreSQL backend functions to LLVM API.
As a result time of TPC-H Q1 query is reduced four times.
