Thanks for the initial work from Ishiihara in #3173
This PR introduce a new join method of sort merge join, which firstly ensure that keys of same value are in the same partition, and inside each partition the Rows are sorted by key. Then we can run down both sides together, find matched rows using [sort merge join](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sort-merge_join). In this way, we don't have to store the whole hash table of one side as hash join, thus we have less memory usage. Also, this PR would benefit from #3438 , making the sorting phrase much more efficient.
We introduced a new configuration of "spark.sql.planner.sortMergeJoin" to switch between this(`true`) and ShuffledHashJoin(`false`), probably we want the default value of it be `false` at first.
