    Why not? We configure the `CodeGenerator` to expect `null` as input (see 
`DataSetSingleRowJoin` line 134).
    The generated code will make sure we do not run into a NPE an the generated 
condition will be `false` if one of the input is `null`.
    
    So, we can simply do `case None if outerJoin => function.join(multiInput, 
null.asInstanceOf[IN2], out)` here and `case None if outerJoin => 
function.join(null.asInstanceOf[IN1], multiInput, out)` in `MapJoinRightRunner`.
    
    I check the generated code and this seems to be fine. Also the tests that 
you provided pass with that change.
