Hi Jing, About `SHUFFLE_HASH(left_table, right_table)`, one case can be shared:
SELECT * FROM left_t JOIN right_1 ON ... JOIN right_2 ON ... JOIN right_3 ON ... What if we want to use shuffle_hash for all three joints? SELECT /*+ SHUFFLE_HASH('left_t', 'right_1', 'right_2', 'right_3') */ ? It does not work, because the left input of the second join is not 'left_t' anymore. It is the output of the first join.
