I think this is a great tool and would be a nice contribution. I am however not sure about the licensing here. Even though the used library appears to be AL2 licensed, I do not know if there are any restrictions from the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC, tpc.org). TPC-H is a benchmark published by the TPC and their rights might be affected.
We should clarify that we are allowed to include this code under AL2.
