The origin of that idea came from "reactive" being the opposite of "proactive". If that's not clear then it's likely a bad choice for a name. I had thought proactive would mean "do things beforehand" i.e not on demand. Basically, just fill the hash table with records that we need to put in it rather than all records that we might need, the latter being what Hash Join does, and the former is what the new node does.
