 *
 * old comments
 *      Returns the tuple joined from inner and outer tuples which
 *      satisfies the qualification clause.
 *
 *      It scans the inner relation to join with current outer tuple.
 *
 *      If none is found, next tuple from the outer relation is retrieved
 *      and the inner relation is scanned from the beginning again to join
 *      with the outer tuple.
 *
 *      NULL is returned if all the remaining outer tuples are tried and
 *      all fail to join with the inner tuples.
 *
 *      NULL is also returned if there is no tuple from inner relation.
 *
 *      Conditions:
 *        -- outerTuple contains current tuple from outer relation and
 *           the right son(inner relation) maintains "cursor" at the tuple
 *           returned previously.
 *              This is achieved by maintaining a scan position on the outer
 *              relation.
 *
 *      Initial States:
 *        -- the outer child and the inner child
 *             are prepared to return the first tuple.
