Luke Cwik commented on BEAM-10529: ---------------------------------- It seems like one that might be worthwhile to make well known, alternatively we use RowCoder since it should support null fields. > Kafka XLang fails for ?empty? key/values > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: BEAM-10529 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-10529 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Bug > Components: io-java-kafka, sdk-py-core > Reporter: Luke Cwik > Priority: P2 > > It looks like the Javadoc for ByteArrayDeserializer and StringDeserializer > can return null[1, 2] and we aren't using > NullableCoder.of(ByteArrayCoder.of()) in the expansion[3].
