Description

Alias filter tag is calculated for each group and used for outer joins. But if joinEmitInterval is smaller than the group size, pre-matured alias filter tag would be used and might introduce different(wrong) result.

It can be observed in join_1to1.q test but I cannot imagine proper solution which does not override intention of joinEmitInterval. Should it be disabled for outer joins?
