CrateDB LEFT JOIN performance

I’m trying to “debug” an issue where LEFT join seems to be taking unprecedentedly long to complete. Following on from Crate’s documentation on how to write joins (and the usual SQL) I wanted to join two tables and find out which records I was missing from the other table.

SELECT * FROM TABLE1 T1
LEFT JOIN TABLE T2
ON T1.COLUMN1 = T2.COLUMN1
WHERE T2.COLUMN1 IS NULL

I had to fall back on the traditional SQL (MSSQL) and have run this query on the same dataset with no problems what so ever. I know Crate handles joins differently than traditional relational database would, I was wondering if anyone has faced this issue and there was something I could do or write the query in a different way? (I tried using IN approach but to no avail)
