    Yes. A key in `MapData` cannot be null. However, since the function takes 
two `ArrayData`s as input, I figured that we shouldn't count on this 
requirement being necessarily fulfilled. As `CollectObjectsToMap` is a class 
separate from its usage in `ScalaReflection`, I tried to make it as generic and 
as similar to `MapObjects` as possible, so it can be used elsewhere without 
having to make sure additional preconditions are met.
    It also produces a generic `Map` which has implementations that can support 
null keys. Right now, the only check that prevents this is 
[here](https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/16986/files/7af9b0625a245d34943b7192532c93f2aafac635#diff-e436c96ea839dfe446837ab2a3531f93R933).
 If there is ever a need to support these kinds of `Map`s in the future, this 
should make the job easier.
