   > My point is even if we differentiate empty array vs null at extractor 
layer, the ingestion engine will still put the same default value for them
   
   Hi @Jackie-Jiang, let me first describe I want to describe the current issue,
   
   for single value column, when a field has default value 0, we can still 
differentiate null value vs "0" by using `IS NOT NULL`.
   However for the multi-value column, when a multi-value field using default 
value empty list, we can not differentiate the null value and the empty list by 
using `IS NOT NULL` 
   
   do you think there are other work arounds to make this work? 
   For this PR, I agree it won't solve the issue completely and we need to have 
a proper design so that ingestion layer can aware when to add null vectors.
