Shravan, could you take a look plaese. 

I think we want to preserve SQL semantics here:

JOIN / INNER COGROUP - throws away all NULLs
OUTER COGROUP + flatten with bincond  simulates outer joins where missing data is padded by NULLs and  nulls are assumed to be all different - never multiplied.

> JOIN should follow SQL semantics .i.e if the join key is a null or part of the join key is null in the first table, it should not join with similar keys in the second table.
> Cogroup should coalesce all NULL key rows into one group.
