Spatial Hash-Joins

Summary: Defines a spatial hash-join framework with a two-component partition: bucket extents plus an assignment function; inner partitions adapt while outer partitions are immutable and may replicate items into multiple buckets. No precomputed indices required; it outperforms tree-based spatial joins (even with indices) and offers predictable costs and easy integration with existing hash-join engines.
