I was a little inprecise in describing the problem: what if, while
processing the current row, we want to see whether there is another row, so we
call `hasNext()` but do _not_ want to do the work of mutating the current value
from the iterator (e.g. we want the mutable value to only be updated by next
calls, not `hasNext()`) and we also want to have an idempotent `hasNext()`?
In principle, I suppose that `HashJoin` is vulnerable to problem: what if
the row returned by the iterator points to the last value for a particular left
row and we call `hasNext()` without intending to immediately call `next()`? In
that case, I think that we'll wind up advancing the row as a result of the
`hasNext()` call.
Maybe this concern is moot. I was just trying to figure out why the copy
was necessary here and this was the only explanation that I could come up with.
