I was wondering about the same claim. However, I believe that JOIN's are a common weakness among OLAP database engines, and DataFusion is built on top of a columnar storage format - Apache Arrow.

By being columnar, I guess you could say DataFusion has a good executor, but no, not a good optimizer.
Not that I was trying to make any of those claims but just trying to correlate the domain with what appears to be a common problem in it.
