Create tasks for processing skew joins. The idea is (HIVE-964) to use separated jobs and map-joins to handle skew joins.

• Number of mr jobs to handle skew keys is the number of table minus 1 (we can stream the last table, so big keys in the last table will not be a problem).
• At runtime in Join, we output big keys in one table into one corresponding directories, and all same keys in other tables into different dirs(one for each table). The directories will look like:
  • dir-T1-bigkeys(containing big keys in T1), dir-T2-keys(containing keys which is big in T1),dir-T3-keys(containing keys which is big in T1), ...
  • dir-T1-keys(containing keys which is big in T2), dir-T2-bigkeys(containing big keys in T2),dir-T3-keys(containing keys which is big in T2), ...
  • dir-T1-keys(containing keys which is big in T3), dir-T2-keys(containing big keys in T3),dir-T3-bigkeys(containing keys which is big in T3), ... .....

For each table, we launch one mapjoin job, taking the directory containing big keys in this table and corresponding dirs in other tables as input. (Actally one job for one row in the above.)
