A > lot of null checking could be avoided if we would properly handle > nullability. Fields of tuples and POJOs with primitive fields can not be > null. Elements of primitive arrays too. It also includes parameters and > return types of user-defined scalar, table, and aggregate functions. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
