Compute the transpose of matrix using Hama

The transpose of a matrix is another matrix in which the rows and columns have been reversed. It will be used for SVD (Singular Value Decomposition).

| a11 a12 a13 | | a11 a21 a31 |
| a21 a22 a23 | => | a12 a22 a32 |
| a31 a32 a33 | | a13 a23 a33 |

- A map task receives a row n as a key, and vector of each row as its value
- emit (Reversed index, the entry with the given index)
- Reduce task sets the reversed values

The transpose of 5,000 * 5,000 dense matrix took 12 mins using Hadoop/Hama (10 nodes). Why need to store the result? If we store the result, the locality will be provided for next steps, such as multiplication.
