Doesn't std.parallelism's task parallelism API work for this?  
(Roughly speaking a task in std.parallelism == a future in your 
Thrift API.)  If not, what can I do to fix it so that it can?

Looking briefly at your API, one thing I notice is the ability to 
cancel a future.  This would be trivial to implement in 
std.parallelism for tasks that haven't yet started executing, but 
difficult if not impossible for tasks that are already executing. 
  Does your Thrift API allow cancelling futures that are already 
executing?  If so, how is that accomplished?

The TFutureAggregatorRange could be handled by a parallel foreach 
loop if I understand correctly, though it would look a little 
different.
