The `experimental.join()` function joins two streams of tables on the
[group key](/v2.0/reference/glossary/#group-key) and `_time` column.
Columns that are not part of the group key or explicitly mapped in the join operation
are dropped from output tables.
Use the [`fn` parameter](#fn) to map new output tables using values from input tables.
{{% note %}}
To join streams of tables with different fields or measuremtns, use [`group()`](/v2.0/reference/flux/stdlib/built-in/transformations/group/)
To join streams of tables with different fields or measurements, use [`group()`](/v2.0/reference/flux/stdlib/built-in/transformations/group/)
or [`drop()`](/v2.0/reference/flux/stdlib/built-in/transformations/drop/) to remove
`_field` and `_measurement` from the group key before joining.
