Anyways to cache the subquery or force a broadcast join without persisting it?

Likely when you cache the subquery we know that its going to be small so use a broadcast join instead of a shuffling the data.

Anything can be done to tune to help tune this? When the subquery in persisted, it runs much faster, and the shuffle is 50 times smaller! Thanks, Younes
