+1. Will commit if tests pass.

> Now number of reducers of block sampling is not modified, so that queries
> like:
> select c from tab tablesample(1 percent) group by c;
> can generate huge number of reducers although the input is sampled to be
> small.
> We need to shrink number of reducers to make block sampling more useful.
> Since now number of reducers are determined before get splits, the way to do
> it probably is not clean enough, but we can do a good guess.
