> Currently, in streaming LEFT/RIGHT/FULL OUTER JOIN Flink SQL doesn't emit
> UPDATE_BEFORE/UPDATE_AFTER records, but instead explicitly change RowKind of
> output records to INSERT/DELETE for simplicity. However, it doesn't work as
> expected, because sometimes UPDATE_BEFORE rows can be emitted. What is more
> confusing - after UPDATE_BEFORE record there will be INSERT record (not
> UPDATE_AFTER), which can cause bugs in case when downstream operators process
> UPDATE records in a different way than INSERT/DELETE (for example, it can
> assume, that after UPDATE_BEFORE there should be UPDATE_AFTER record at some
> point of time).
> How to reproduce:
> Suppose we have tables "source1" and "source2":
> CREATE TABLE source1(
> id int PRIMARY KEY,
> c3 bigint
> ) WITH (
> 'connector' = 'kafka',
> ...
> 'format' = 'debezium-json'
> );
>
> CREATE TABLE source2(
> id int PRIMARY KEY,
> c3 bigint
> ) WITH (
> 'connector' = 'kafka',
> ...
> 'format' = 'debezium-json'
> );
> And we execute the following query:
> "select t1.id, t1.c3,t2.id, t2.c3 from source1 t1 left join source2 t2 on
> t1.id = t2.id"
> Then we insert records one by one:
> source1:
> {noformat}
> {"before":null,"after":{"id":2,"c3":7121},"op":"c"}{noformat}
> source2:
> {noformat}
> {"before":null,"after":{"id":2,"c3":364},"op":"c"}{noformat}
> source1:
> {noformat}
> {"before":{"id":2,"c3":7121},"after":{"id":2,"c3":7222},"op":"u"}{noformat}
> source2:
> {noformat}
> {"before":{"id":2,"c3":364},"after":{"id":2,"c3":564},"op":"u"}{noformat}
> The result will be as in the following screenshot:
> !image-2023-04-05-00-08-32-984.png!
> Note, that after implementing ticket
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17337 (support emitting
> UPDATE_BEFORE/UPDATE_AFTER records not only in inner join) the described bug
> won't be relevant anymore.
