[WIP] Adding bucketing to carbon table loading
Bucketing is the useful feature when user wants to join big tables. And
also it is useful in driver level partition pruning to improve query
performance.
User can add buckets on any dimension column (except complex types) as
follows
```
CREATE TABLE test(user_id BIGINT, firstname STRING, lastname STRING)
CLUSTERED BY(user_id) INTO 32 BUCKETS;
```
In the above example column `user_id` is hash partitioned and creates 32
buckets/partitions files in carbondata. So while doing the join with other
table on bucketed column it can select same buckets and do the join with out
shuffling.
Carbon creates following folder structure, since carbon is already
supporting partitioning in its file format we can make use of it or we can move
the partitionid to file metadata. But if we the partitionId to metadata then
there would be complications in backward compatability.
dbName -> tableName - > Fact -> Part<id> ->Segment_id -> carbondatafiles
