`Count` is indeed certainly not a problem for "null" type (since it only counting the values, not calculating anything with them). And also for `MinMax` it seems this always returns null for empty or all-null numeric arrays, so there wouldn't be an inconsistency here. So it's mainly `Sum` that would give a type inconsistency. `Mean` might give less of a problem, because currently that kernel always returns a double regardless of the (numeric) input type. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
