Join hints are quite often used and I would prefer to keep them at the same location. What do you think about renaming *your* `AbstractJoinOperatorBase` class to `JoinOperatorBase` and *your* `JoinOperatorBase` class to `InnerJoinOperatorBase`? Alternatively, we can also move the `JoinHint` enum from `AbstractJoinOperatorBase` to `JoinOperatorBase`. > Add outer joins to API and Optimizer > ------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-2576 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2576 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Java API, Optimizer, Scala API > Reporter: Ricky Pogalz > Priority: Minor > Fix For: pre-apache > > > Add left/right/full outer join methods to the DataSet APIs (Java, Scala) and > to the optimizer of Flink. > Initially, the execution strategy should be a sort-merge outer join > (FLINK-2105) but can later be extended to hash joins for left/right outer > joins. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
