Consider a case where there are 3 nulls in middle and rest of the elements
are same. And another array with 5 nulls in the middle. Now the one with 3
nulls is the lowest.
But my point is in the case where the nullCount % 256 (say nullcount is
234) now the nullbytecount is 22. And another array with exactly 22 middle
elements . How do we differentiate which one is bigger? Here the comparison
will make the one with 234 nulls as small based on the offset arrays byte
comparsion because the val part is going to be the same.
