Class RightJoin

java.lang.Object
  extended by cascading.pipe.joiner.BaseJoiner
      extended by cascading.pipe.joiner.RightJoin
All Implemented Interfaces:
DeclaresResults, Joiner, Serializable

public class RightJoin
extends BaseJoiner

Class RightJoin will return an RightJoin.JoinIterator that will iterate over a given Joiner and return tuples that represent a left outer, right inner join of the CoGrouper internal grouped tuple collections.

Note only the farthest left tuple stream will be used as the outer join. All following joins to the right will be inner joins. See MixedJoin for more flexibility.

Joins perform based on the equality of the join keys. In the case of null values, Java treats two null values as equivalent. SQL does not treat null values as equal. To produce SQL like results in a given join, a new Comparator will need to be used on the joined values to prevent null from equaling null. As a convenience, see the NullNotEquivalentComparator class.
