Yes, you understood the problem correctly. Without PR #4732, join keys are
mapped to `Tuple` which do not support null fields unless the field type
supports them (which is the case for String but not other primitives). With
#4732 keys are mapped to `Row` which supports null fields but treats `null ==
null`. Therefore, we need to add these predicates into the code-gen'd
conditions that correctly evaluate the predicates according to three-value
logic.
After #4732 all types will support null value keys.
