Review Comment: The underlying structure does not admit a null value. It is Protobuf, there are no true null values (*this has changed slightly in recent versions but we do not use that codegen option for this structure). Let's be clear here, though. Is this for input, or output? I would be -1 to ever returning `None` for this attribute. If it's merely to accept it as an input on construction that might be OK, but it would be misleading to people when it doesn't round trip. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
