Review Comment:
   That's a great point. Storing the inner expressions directly is indeed a 
better approach, especially since the perfect hash join(which is being worked 
on [in that separate pending 
PR](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/19411/changes#diff-c89cc13760a9e27ff7901446ad0982fab905ae292b57803b53f749603168c7b6R361-R362))
 needs direct access to `on_columns` to identify the join key columns.
   
   
   I initially considered changing `HashTableLookupExpr.hash_expr` to a 
concrete `HashExpr` type (which I've actually already done in another [unmerged 
PR for perfect hash 
join](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/19411/changes#diff-c89cc13760a9e27ff7901446ad0982fab905ae292b57803b53f749603168c7b6R222)).
 However, I think that accessing the columns through `hash_expr.on_columns` 
feels a bit clunky 😂.
