Based on the current design, if the code senses that there is not
sufficient memory then it goes back to the old code. Now I have encountered a
case where this happened and the old agg did not respect the memory constraints
imposed by me. I gave 116MB memory and the old hash agg code consumed ~130MB
and completed the query. This doesn't play well with the overall resource
management plan
