less required ADQL support [TAP-1.1]

[Patrick Dowler]

I'm not very familiar with NoSQL query syntax, havig only hacked around 
with ElasticSearch in the context of log analysis... but the query 
language wouldn't be in TAP and it would surely take some time to make 
it a standard rather than custom lang...
