	 * This method must be implemented to provide a user implementation of a
	 * matcher. It is called for each two key-value pairs that share the same
	 * key and come from different inputs.
	 * 
	 * @param records1 The records from the first input which were paired with the key.
	 * @param records2 The records from the second input which were paired with the key.
	 * @param out A collector that collects all output pairs.
	 * 
	 * @throws Exception Implementations may forward exceptions, which are caught by the runtime. When the
	 *                   runtime catches an exception, it aborts the task and lets the fail-over logic
	 *                   decide whether to retry the task execution.
