Github user chermenin commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3021 I've got results and here are: Benchmark | Mode | Cnt | Score | Error | Units -------------------|-------|------|-----------|---------|-------- Just operation | avgt | 200 | 74.672 | 0.944 | ns/op if-else (_not_ null value) | avgt | 200 | 915.718 | 5.534 | ns/op try-catch (_not_ null value) | avgt | 200 | 74.183 | 0.405 | ns/op if-else (null value) | avgt | 200 | 901.775 | 5.368 | ns/op try-catch (null value) | avgt | 200 | 8649.317 | 40.462 | ns/op In this way `if-else-check` always adds more than 800 nanoseconds per operation to run-time. While `try-catch-block` doesn't slow down normal performance. We really need this option, because null value isn't normal value for us now. I will change the code in the closest future.
