// This packetizer is based on TPacketizer but uses different           //
// load-balancing algorithms and data structures.                       //
// Two main improvements in the load-balancing strategy:                //
// - First one was to change the order in which the files are assigned  //
//   to the computing nodes in such a way that network transfers are    //
//   evenly distributed in the query time. Transfer of the remote files //
//   was often becoming a bottleneck at the end of a query.             //
// - The other improvement is the use of time-based packet size. We     //
//   measure the processing rate of all the nodes and calculate the     //
//   packet size, so that it takes certain amount of time. In this way  //
//   packetizer prevents the situation where the query can't finish     //
//   because of one slow node.                                          //
//                                                                      //
// The data structures: TFileStat, TFileNode and TSlaveStat are         //
// enriched + changed and TFileNode::Compare method is changed.         //
//                                                                      //
