    @zhzhan , for outer join, if it's a typed join, then both of the join side 
will include this hidden column, as their columns are produced by serializing 
custom object. If we need to return null for one join side, we will null out 
all columns of that side, including the hidden column. Then when we deserialize 
it, we can know that this join side is null and we can build a null object for 
it.
