    """Join two tables using Jaccard similarity measure.

    For two sets X and Y, the Jaccard similarity score between them is given by:                      
                                                                                
        :math:`jaccard(X, Y) = \\frac{|X \\cap Y|}{|X \\cup Y|}` 

    In the case where both X and Y are empty sets, we define their Jaccard 
    score to be 1. 

    Finds tuple pairs from left table and right table such that the Jaccard 
    similarity between the join attributes satisfies the condition on input 
    threshold. For example, if the comparison operator is '>=', finds tuple     
    pairs whose Jaccard similarity between the strings that are the values of    
    the join attributes is greater than or equal to the input threshold, as     
    specified in "threshold". 

    Args:
        ltable (DataFrame): left input table.

        rtable (DataFrame): right input table.

        l_key_attr (string): key attribute in left table.

        r_key_attr (string): key attribute in right table.

        l_join_attr (string): join attribute in left table.

        r_join_attr (string): join attribute in right table.

        tokenizer (Tokenizer): tokenizer to be used to tokenize join 
            attributes.

        threshold (float): Jaccard similarity threshold to be satisfied.

        comp_op (string): comparison operator. Supported values are '>=', '>' 
            and '=' (defaults to '>=').  

        allow_empty (boolean): flag to indicate whether tuple pairs with empty 
            set of tokens in both the join attributes should be included in the
            output (defaults to True).

        allow_missing (boolean): flag to indicate whether tuple pairs with 
            missing value in at least one of the join attributes should be 
            included in the output (defaults to False). If this flag is set to 
            True, a tuple in ltable with missing value in the join attribute 
            will be matched with every tuple in rtable and vice versa.

        l_out_attrs (list): list of attribute names from the left table to be 
            included in the output table (defaults to None).

        r_out_attrs (list): list of attribute names from the right table to be 
            included in the output table (defaults to None).

        l_out_prefix (string): prefix to be used for the attribute names coming 
            from the left table, in the output table (defaults to 'l\\_').

        r_out_prefix (string): prefix to be used for the attribute names coming 
            from the right table, in the output table (defaults to 'r\\_').

        out_sim_score (boolean): flag to indicate whether similarity score 
            should be included in the output table (defaults to True). Setting
            this flag to True will add a column named '_sim_score' in the 
            output table. This column will contain the similarity scores for the
            tuple pairs in the output. 

        n_jobs (int): number of parallel jobs to use for the computation
            (defaults to 1). If -1 is given, all CPUs are used. If 1 is given, 
            no parallel computing code is used at all, which is useful for 
            debugging. For n_jobs below -1, (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) are used 
            (where n_cpus is the total number of CPUs in the machine). Thus for 
            n_jobs = -2, all CPUs but one are used. If (n_cpus + 1 + n_jobs) 
            becomes less than 1, then no parallel computing code will be used 
            (i.e., equivalent to the default).

        show_progress (boolean): flag to indicate whether task progress should 
            be displayed to the user (defaults to True).

    Returns:
        An output table containing tuple pairs that satisfy the join 
        condition (DataFrame).
