make FS/Db2 generate some good remote execution plans against big Mongo collections

Problem statement/pain points - refer to what elaborated in TS012101437 for details

*for multi-way joins (>2), FS/Db2 currently always generate bad remote SQL execution plans involving full scan of some large collections w/ no filters pushed down as expected or w/ right JOIN method and sequence as expected to avoid full scan

===

Current workarounds

*use Db2 optimizer guidelines to update the FS/Db2 bad remote execution plans into some functioning versions containing right join method, join order, join predicate, and access paths consistent w/ data statistics in the backend Mongo collections


===

Proposed solutions

*extend Db2/FS cost-based-optimizer(CBO) into handling Mongo collections to avoid generating always wrong remote execution plans for multi-way joins (>2) by enabling automatic collections of data statistics essential to improve chances of making Mongo based queries not stuck all the time

===

Benefits

*currently, Db2/FS Mongo wrapper simply cannot generate any good remote execution plan in handling multi-way joins (>2) involving big Mongo collections - the always wrong remote execution plans FS/Db2 generates makes it impossible to count on Db2/FS in handling real Mongo data usage scenarios correctly - by enabling automatic collections of data statistics available in Mongo data store, it will allow Db2/FS cost-based-optimizer(CBO) to improve chances of generating good remote execution plans
