Ok, thanks, that makes sense. My question kind of remains though - does that mean that having any nulls in the tuple loses the ability to use the tupleDesc cache? and how much of a performance impact is this? I'm sure there's a good reason why you can't really use the cache if you have a null column, just was curious of the implications. Thanks again!
