We had to disable outer joins with predicates that include non-equi conditions in FLINK-5520 because they were not properly implemented. That implementation was based on splitting the join predicate into equi-conditions which were evaluated by the join and non-equi-conditions which were evaluated in a subsequent filter step. However, this split did not work correctly, because it would generate too many `null` rows if records passed the equi-join predicate in the join but not the non-equi predicate in the filter (since each filter call did only see a single row and would not know if all other rows had been filtered as well). In our case the situation is different. We are translating the join into a `NestedLoopJoin (where one side is at most one record), which can evaluate the full predicate including the non-equi conditions inside the join and know if we need to emit a `null` result because there is only a single row that either matches the predicate or not.
