    @wzhfy I’ve looked into moving the star reordering at the end of the 
optimization phase. Star reordering uses the existing 
```ReorderJoin.createOrderedJoin``` method to construct the final plan once a 
star join is discovered. This method only handles specific types of plans, and 
doesn’t recognize the plan layout in the last phase of the Optimizer. Writing 
a new join reordering method for this purpose would not make too much sense 
since star joins are to be used by the existing planning strategies.
    
    I suggest to keep the current logic and, next, I can look into integrating 
the star plans with your new DP planning. Once that’s tested, we can probably 
remove the star schema call from ```ReorderJoin``` planning rule. Please let me 
know what you think.
