+   * Set the element at the given index to null. For DenseUnionVector, it is a 
no-op as nulls are not supported at the

at the level of individual child vectors.

Review Comment:
   The writer API is a separate API, isn't it? Why do they have to be tied?
   
   For sparse union vectors, by definition all the vectors would need to 
contain some value. So I don't see the issue in delegating. For dense union 
vectors, only one would need a value, and an offset would be appended.
