Hello,

I am trying to build a pipeline using Beam's Python SDK to run on Dataflow
and I encountered an error when encoding Null value message coming from
kafka (tombstone message)

```

Caused by: org.apache.beam.sdk.coders.CoderException: cannot encode a
null byte[]

```

It seems unsupported for the moment, as I saw here
<https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/243128a8fc52798e1b58b0cf1a271d95ee7aa241/sdks/java/core/src/main/java/org/apache/beam/sdk/coders/ByteArrayCoder.java#L63>

Is there a workaround for this?
To avoid having errors pop up each time a null-value message arrives?
Or to bypass these events?

jira ticket that might be related here
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-10529>
slack message here
