This might be a silly idea, but if we can't find a valid plan for a
join sub-problem, perhaps we could consider flattening the
sub-joinlist into the higher level to explore a solution in a broader
search space. The top-most joinlist should always be able to produce
a valid plan, otherwise something must be wrong during planning.
This may violate the from_collapse_limit restriction, but such cases
are expected to be very rare.
Thanks
