Scott Carey commented on PIG-1506:
----------------------------------

I have just confirmed that on 0.7 it works fine, but 0.5 does not. So this was 
fixed in 0.6 or 0.7.  I suppose I can take out some null guards from my scripts 
now :)

This was my test:

{code}
A = LOAD '/tmp/test.txt' as (a,b,c);
B = LOAD '/tmp/test.txt' as (a,b,c);
C = JOIN A by (a,b), B by (a,b);

DUMP A;
DUMP C;
{code}

With 0.5 I get:
A:
(fred,1,3)
(bob,,4)
C:
(bob,,4,bob,,4)
(fred,1,3,fred,1,3)

and with 0.7 C is:
(fred,1,3,fred,1,3)
