I think we can make this method a bit more efficient:
```
val partialValue = ...
if (partialValue != null) {
val bufferValue = ...
if (bufferValue != null) {
val max = ...
buffer.setField(maxIndex, max)
} else {
buffer.setField(maxIndex, partialValue)
}
}
```
Same applies for `MinAggregate` and `SumAggregate`.
> Aggregates handle null values incorrectly.

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Table API
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: GaoLun
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.1.0
>
>
> Table API and SQL aggregates are supposed to ignore null values, e.g.,
> {{sum(1,2,null,4)}} is supposed to return {{7}}.
> There current implementation is correct if at least one valid value is
> present however, is incorrect if only null values are aggregated. {{sum(null,
> null, null)}} should return {{null}} instead of {{0}}
> Currently only the Count aggregate handles the case of null-values-only
> correctly.
