We use the object inspector from the key of the BigTable in the MapJoin for the key of the broadcast table, but this is not correct for outer joins (if you have not match for a left record, the value for the key column in the right side will be null). I have uploaded a fix and the test case to validate the fix. was (Author: jcamachorodriguez): Problem was in the initialization of operator.
