Currently, we do not support Memoize for SEMI and ANTI joins because
nested loop SEMI/ANTI joins do not scan the inner relation to
completion, which prevents Memoize from marking the cache entry as
complete. One might argue that we could mark the cache entry as
complete after fetching the first inner tuple, but that would not be
safe: if the first inner tuple and the current outer tuple do not
satisfy the join clauses, a second inner tuple matching the parameters
would find the cache entry already marked as complete.
However, if the inner side is provably unique, this issue doesn't
arise, since there would be no second matching tuple. That said, this
doesn't help in the case of SEMI joins, because a SEMI join with a
provably unique inner side would already have been reduced to an inner
join by reduce_unique_semijoins.
Therefore, in this patch, we check whether the inner relation is
provably unique for ANTI joins and enable the use of Memoize in such
cases.
