liupengcheng updated FLINK-18830:
---------------------------------
Description:
Currently, The `JoinCoGroupFunction` and `FlatJoinCoGroupFunction` in
JoinedStreams does't respect the join type, it's been implemented as doing join
within a two-level loop. However, this is incorrect for outer join when one
side of the coGroup is empty.
```
public void coGroup(Iterable<T1> first, Iterable<T2> second,
Collector<T> out) throws Exception {
for (T1 val1: first) {
for (T2 val2: second) {
wrappedFunction.join(val1, val2, out);
}
}
}
```
The above code is the current implementation, suppose the first input is
non-empty, and the second input is an empty iterator, then the join
function(`wrappedFunction`) will never be called. This will cause no data to be
emitted for a left outer join.
So I propose to consider join type here, and handle this case, e.g., for left
outer join, we can emit record with right side set to null here if the right
side is empty or can not find any match in the right side.

outer join, we can call join function with right side set to null here if the
right side is empty, so that the join function can handle real joins.
