> Currently one has to use get() != null checks to see if a specific column has
> a value for any given row. But this involves the whole load and transfer
> stack to shift the data to the client just for it to drop the content. Better
> would be a server side check and only returning the boolean back to the
> client, especially if the checked cell is containing MB's of data.
