---------------------------------------------------------------------

I think as proposed in the first patch we should skip the watcher processing if 
either watcher or pair.event is null, but we should also add warning so in 
future we can get better understanding of the use case from where problem is 
coming.
{code:java}
if (watcher != null && pair.event != null) {
    watcher.process(pair.event);
} else {
    LOG.warn(
        "Skipping watcher processing as watcher and pair.event cannot"
            + " be null. watcher={}, pair.event={}",
        watcher == null ? "null" : watcher.getClass().getName(),
        pair.event == null ? "null" : pair.event);
}
{code}
