What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR proposes to change the assertion of data type against joining keys on stream-stream join to ignore nullability.
Why are the changes needed?
The existing requirement on checking data types of joining keys is too restricted, as it also requires the same nullability. In batch query (I checked with HashJoinExec), nullability is ignored when checking data types of joining keys.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Yes, end users will no longer encounter the assertion error on join keys with different nullability in both keys.
How was this patch tested?
New test added.
