If we add a parameter `outerJoin: Boolean, we can do
```
case None if outerJoin => function.join(multiInput, null, out)
```
if we generate the function such that it checks if the single input is
`null`

> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: Dmytro Shkvyra
>
> The {{DataSetSingleRowJoin}} is a broadcast-map join that supports arbitrary
> inner joins where one input is a single row.
> I found that Calcite translates certain subqueries into non-equi left and
> right joins with single input. These cases can be handled if the
> {{DataSetSingleRowJoin}} is extended to support outer joins on the
> non-single-row input, i.e., left joins if the right side is single input and
> vice versa.
