> When building the Hash Table for the Hash-Join, each new key is matched with 
> an existing key (same bucket) by calling the generated method 
> `isKeyMatchInternalBuild`, which compares the two. However when both keys are 
> null, the method returns *false* (meaning not-equal; i.e. it is a new key), 
> thus the new key is added into the list following the old key. When a third 
> null key is found, it would be matched with the prior two, and added as well. 
> Etc etc ...
> This way many null values would perform checks at order N^2 / 2.
> Suggested improvement: The generated code should return a third result, 
> meaning "two null keys". Then in case of Inner or Left joins all the 
> duplicate nulls can be discarded.
> Below is a simple example, note the time difference between non-null and the 
> all-nulls tables (also instrumentation showed that for nulls, the method 
> above was called 1249975000 times!!)
