-------------------------------------------

Hi [~jamestaylor],

I have implemented a built in function for ARRAY_APPEND it is only intended for 
fixed length arrays for now. But I have got a problem. I wrote a simple test 
for the function created. its all in the patch file. but when I run the test I 
get an exception, but I cant seem to find the direct reason for this exception. 
Can you take a look at the code segment and tell me what you think? I must be 
doing something wrong(may be while appending the element to array).

the exception is,

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at 
org.apache.phoenix.schema.types.PArrayDataType.createPhoenixArray(PArrayDataType.java:624)
        at 
org.apache.phoenix.schema.types.PArrayDataType.toObject(PArrayDataType.java:263)
        at 
org.apache.phoenix.schema.types.PBinaryArray.toObject(PBinaryArray.java:67)
        at 
org.apache.phoenix.schema.types.PDataType.toObject(PDataType.java:996)
        at 
org.apache.phoenix.compile.ExpressionProjector.getValue(ExpressionProjector.java:75)
        at 
org.apache.phoenix.jdbc.PhoenixResultSet.getArray(PhoenixResultSet.java:182)
        at 
org.apache.phoenix.end2end.salted.ArrayAppendFunctionIT.testArray(ArrayAppendFunctionIT.java:57)

Here ArrrayAppendFunctionIT is the simple test case I wrote.

What I understood after looking for a while is this exception occurs since 
PArrayDataType.toObject method does not receive array type correctly So when it 
calls getByteSize of data type object it gets null. 

Regards,
Dumindu.
