My research contacts advise me of this recent work http://www.ntu.edu.sg/home/bshe/hashjoinonapu_vldb13.pdf and also that they expect a prototype to be ready by October, which I have been told will be open source. So there are at least two groups looking at this as a serious option for Postgres (not including the above paper's authors). That isn't *now*, but it is at least a time scale that fits with acting on this in the next release, if we can separate out the various ideas and agree we wish to proceed.
