I think if we specify clearly the semantics of block-level sample in the 
wiki/documentation, there shouldn't be much confusion. In fact I think it is 
much easier to explain than the bucket-based sampling. In addition if the user 
has confusions about the semantics, throwing an SemanticException won't help 
them understand.  I think the only use case for this parameter is to act as a 
gatekeeper to this feature if we found a bug in it and want to disable the 
feature quickly. That should be able to be achieved by switching branches 
quickly. If we have a gatekeeper parameter for each feature, the conf will grow 
unnecessarily large quickly.

I think combining these two still makes sense: 1) as you mentioned block 
sampling is not limiting on the # of rows, but limit is. Combining these two 
allows the users to get approximately N rows quickly. 2) this restriction makes 
an exception in terms of the query language composition. From the language 
syntax, it is allowed and makes senses to combine block-sampling and limit, but 
the user will get a SemanticException if they do. I think SemanticException 
should be thrown only when there is a legitimate semantic error (e.g., the 
percentage number is negative). If you feel that it is not a major use case and 
would rather do it in a follow-up JIRA, we should document it in TODO and file 
a JIRA for it.
