> Currently, many runtime operations fail when encountering a null value. Tuple
> serialization should allow null fields.
> I suggest to add a method to the tuples called `getFieldNotNull()` which
> throws a meaningful exception when the accessed field is null. That way, we
> simplify the logic of operators that should not dead with null fields, like
> key grouping or aggregations.
> Even though SQL allows grouping and aggregating of null values, I suggest to
> exclude this from the java api, because the SQL semantics of aggregating null
> fields are messy.
