             Summary: Investigate automatic not null checks via annotations in 
place of checkNotNull calls
                 Key: PARQUET-29
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-29
             Project: Parquet
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: parquet-mr
            Reporter: Alex Levenson
            Priority: Minor


We've discussed that it would be neat if we could replace a lot of the 
checkNotNull() calls in parquet-mr with an annotation like
{code}
@NotNull
{code}

or even make not null the default and annotate things that can be null with
{code}
@Nullable
{code}

and have this enforced by the compiler / annotation preprocessor.
