Dennis Gove commented on SOLR-7584:
-----------------------------------

That's right. LeftOuterJoin wasn't included in the first version of the patch. 
At the moment the patch includes changes to a set of supporting classes and 
adds inner join. Left outer join isn't ready yet. I expect the expression 
syntax to be the same (two streams with an on clause) and the implementation to 
be fairly similar to inner join but taking into account that a right-side 
record isn't required for the left-side record to be returned.

> Add InnerJoinStream, LeftOuterJoinStream, and supporting classes to the 
> Streaming API to allow for joining between sub-streams.
> At its basic, it would look something like this
> {code}
> innerJoin(
>   search(collection1, q=*:*, fl="fieldA, fieldB, fieldC", ...),
>   search(collection2, q=*:*, fl="fieldA, fieldD, fieldE", ...),
>   on="fieldA=fieldA"
> )
> {code}
> or with multi-field on clauses
> {code}
> innerJoin(
>   search(collection1, q=*:*, fl="fieldA, fieldB, fieldC", ...),
>   search(collection2, q=*:*, fl="fieldA, fieldD, fieldE", ...),
>   on="fieldA=fieldA, fieldB=fieldD"
> )
> {code}
> I'd also like to support the option of doing a hash join instead of the 
> default merge join but I haven't yet figured out the best way to express 
> that. I'd like to let the user tell us which sub-stream should be hashed (the 
> least-cost one).
> Also, I've been thinking about field aliasing and might want to add a 
> SelectStream which serves the purpose of allowing us to limit the fields 
> coming out and rename fields.
> Depends on SOLR-7554
