Description
Esper documentation states
If the optional on clause is specified, it may only employ the = equals operator and property names.
Any other operators must be placed in the where-clause. The stream names that appear in the
on clause may refer to any stream in the from-clause
resulting in different results when the where-clause is used because the on-clause only supports ='s since the semantics are different.
From https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4752455/left-join-with-where-clause
When making OUTER JOINs (ANSI-89 or ANSI-92), filtration location matters because criteria specified in the ON clause is applied before the JOIN is made. Criteria against an OUTER JOINed table provided in the WHERE clause is applied after the JOIN is made. This can produce very different result sets. In comparison, it doesn't matter for INNER JOINs if the criteria is provided in the ON or WHERE clauses -- the result will be the same.
This feature request is to add full support for other operators within the on clause.
