Calcite does not have the concept of a "CROSS JOIN". It shows up in the
plan as a LogicalJoin with condition=[true]. We could try rejecting the
cross join at the planning stage by returning null for them
in BeamJoinRule.convert(), which might result in a different plan. But
looking at your query, you have a cross join unless the where clause on the
inner select contains a row from the outer select.
