Creation of Clickhouse derived tables based on genetic_alteration table (unpacking delimited strings to CH rows) has been plagued by memory issues, requiring batching of the process. This PR optimizes memory consumption by obeying the "largest table on the left rule". The genetic_alteration table is by far the largest table, so it should be on the left joins. Intuitively, this allows the query optimizer to automatically batch its consumption of that table.
