Description
**Describe the bug**
See discussion here https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/12454
The "broadcast join" (CollectLeft) is wrong for certain join types which produce results on unmatched left rows.
**To Reproduce**
Run a broadcast join with left / full outer on more than one node
**Expected behavior**
**Additional context**
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the linked DataFusion discussion and reproducing a broadcast join with CollectLeft using left and full outer joins on more than one node. Compare the results for unmatched left rows and use that behavior to define done: those rows should be returned correctly for the affected join types.
