[jira] Commented: (HIVE-1460) JOIN should not output rows for NULL values

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1460?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12887540#action_12887540 ] 

John Sichi commented on HIVE-1460:
----------------------------------

Note that something crazy like

ON a.key=b.key OR a.key IS NULL AND b.key IS NULL

actually does allow null values to meet the join condition, so it's not just a matter of filtering them out before joining.
