Review Comment:
   For me, I would be keener to have an error, it is then obvious this is an 
out of the ordinary situation and as @MartijnVisser says this is going to be 
extremely unlikely to occur. In this case we would be treating runtime 
exceptions like errors (e.g. out of memory). 
    
   If we return a null then potentially we have some sort of null pointer or 
lack of integrity in subsequent processing due to the missing data. It would be 
tricky to understand that this is the root cause.
    
   If the consensus is to return a null,
   - would we document that null is returned for runtime errors? 
   - we should log an error so any unexpected subsequent processing can be 
diagnosed.
