> The previous code called Bytes.equal() which does a check for "null" on the
> left or right argument. Now the comparator calls Bytes.compareTo() - which
> has no check for null. But this is a valid input and checks for existence. I
> actually noticed this running
> https://github.com/larsgeorge/hbase-book/blob/master/ch04/src/main/java/client/CheckAndPutExample.java
> This used to work, now it throws an NPE
> {noformat}
> Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

> Easy fixable, just needs to handle the null value before even calling
> comparator.compareTo().
