Let me restate:
We're using ensureAtLeastOneField to make sure we have at least one vector
has been created. If we check this condition and it is false, then we do
nothing. My question is: can we remove the ensureAtLeastOneField property and
replace the condition above to be fieldWriter.isEmptyMap() instead?
Basically change:
if (!atLeastOneWrite) {
to
if (fieldWriter.isEmptyMap()) {
