Rui Wang commented on BEAM-6114:
--------------------------------
You are right. There are enhancements required to support all join types for
Seekable Join Bounded, especially on the seekable table interface (which
however is not the goal for the seekable interface to return all rows).
I think your original idea is practical: only support OUTER JOIN on the side of
non-seekable side, and throw exception otherwise.
> SQL join selection should be done in planner, not in expansion to PTransform

> Key: BEAM-6114
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-6114
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: dsl-sql
> Reporter: Kenneth Knowles
> Assignee: Rahul Patwari
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 3.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Currently Beam SQL joins all go through a single physical operator which has
> a single PTransform that does all join algorithms based on properties of its
> input PCollections as well as the relational algebra.
> A first step is to make the needed information part of the relational
> algebra, so it can choose a PTransform based on that, and the PTransforms can
> be simpler.
> Second step is to have separate (physical) relational operators for different
> join algorithms.
