    Since `HashAggregator` is not an operator executor (AKA record batch), it 
does not have to follow the iterator protocol and use the `IterOutcome` enum. 
Instead, you can define your own. You won't need the `OK_NEW_SCHEMA`, 
`OUT_OF_MEMORY`, `FAIL` or `NOT_YET` values. All you seem to need is `OK`, 
`NONE` and `RESTART`.
    
    This approach will avoid the need to change the `IterOutcome` enum and 
export your states to all of the Drill iterator protocol.
    
    Did something similar in Sort for the iterator class that returns either 
in-memory or merged spilled batches.
