Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-2971:
--------------------------------------

I think it would be more intuitive to offer explicit outer join methods 
({{joinLeftOuter(right, joinPredicate)}}, {{joinRightOuter(right, 
joinPredicate)}}, and {{joinFullOuter(right, joinPredicate)}},) instead of 
overloading {{join}} with a join hint parameter.

What do you think?


> Add outer joins to the Table API

> Since Flink now supports outer joins, the Table API can also support left, 
> right and full outer joins.
> Given that null values are properly supported by RowSerializer etc.
