Paul Lin updated FLINK-23727:
-----------------------------
Description: In Kafka use cases, it's valid to send a message with a key
and a null payload as a tombstone. But SimpleStringSchema, which is frequently
used as a message value deserializer, throws NPE when the input value is null.
We should tolerate null values in SimpleStringSchema (simply return null to
skip the records), otherwise users need to implement a custom one. (was: In
Kafka user cases, it's valid to send a message with a key and a null payload as
a tombstone. But SimpleStringSchema, which is frequently used as a message
value deserializer, throws NPE when the input value is null. We should tolerate
