    avoid generate temporary table when query samples

    Currently, when we call query-samples API, for SQL backend, we do
    an inner join to get a temporary table, then apply filters, orderby
    and limit options on it. Such implementation will drain disk space
    or cause timeout exception when data set is growing, even with specified
    limit and filters.

    This patch applies filters and limit on the inner join itself, and
    uses a fake mapper object instead of temporary table to suit current
    query transformer.
