Review Comment:
@stevenzwu I have looked at the current implementation in Flink, and the
serialization for null values references the implementation of
NullableSerializer. The underlying approach is also to add a boolean flag at
the beginning of the field to distinguish, which is quite similar to the
approach in this PR. Can we use the current method to fix this issue for now,
or are there any other better handling methods?
```java
NullableSerializer<T> extends TypeSerializer<T>
@Override
public void serialize(T record, DataOutputView target) throws
IOException {
if (record == null) {
target.writeBoolean(true);
target.write(padding);
} else {
target.writeBoolean(false);
originalSerializer.serialize(record, target);
}
}
@Override
public T deserialize(DataInputView source) throws IOException {
boolean isNull = deserializeNull(source);
return isNull ? null : originalSerializer.deserialize(source);
}
```
