   Great PR!!
   
   I do not want to go off topic, but with regard to: 
   >> Benchmarks on the code in this PR indicate we could get a 1.3-3x speedup
   
   ..., I meant to mention that there is an Israeli startup which is specialising in FPGA accelerations. 
   With AWS F1 instance types being a thing now, FPGA might finally be getting some more traction. This startup has customised Druid's Query Engine to delegate the aggregation to FPGA hardware and they claim a 35x speedup for mostly-in-memory use-cases.
   
   They might be an interesting technology partner in validating the design of a vectorisation layer and providing an FPGA based extension for it. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, so this is not me advertising or pitching them. I just found it interesting what they are doing and was curious as to whether you guys have heard of them and whether this sort of stuff would be a fit for what you are trying to achieve with this PR.
