John Sichi commented on HIVE-741:
---------------------------------
@Ted: as Amareshwari mentioned, a left outer join preserves rows on the left
side regardless of whether the ON clause evaluates true. So in that case (and
similar cases for right/full outer join), we can't filter out the rows with
null join keys.
> NULL is not handled correctly in join

> With the following data in table input4_cb:
> Key Value
> ------ --------
> NULL 325
> 18 NULL
> The following query:
> {code}
> select * from input4_cb a join input4_cb b on a.key = b.value;
> {code}
> returns the following result:
> NULL 325 18 NULL
> The correct result should be empty set.
> When 'null' is replaced by '' it works.
