Zoltán Borók-Nagy updated IMPALA-14906:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
We can specify columns as non-nullable, e.g.:

{noformat}
CREATE TABLE t (i INT NOT NULL)
STORED AS ICEBERG;
{noformat}

Writers should not write NULLs into such tables. But it can still happen by 
non-compliant writers, or incompatible schema changes. In this case Impala 
could detect forbidden NULLs during read and raise an error.
