I have tested compiled passed for 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 10 and 11 (
https://travis-ci.org/charles-cui/pg_thrift/builds/404741899)
and make install && make installcheck passed for 9.4
The tests are not run for other versions because my mac is 9.4 postgresql.
Also for CI testing, the current travis scripts has some problems for
version other than 9.4.
I will try to upgrade my postgresql and see whether I can make it.

Good idea, thanks
