> Remove null map in Binary Tuple format
> --------------------------------------

> Key: IGNITE-19666
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-19666
> Project: Ignite
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Aleksey Demakov
> Assignee: Aleksey Demakov
> Priority: Major
> Labels: iep-92, ignite-3
>
> To move towards single-pass in-place construction of binary tuples the
> biggest obstacle is presence of the null map.
> It is proposed to encode null values as a single-byte special value (null
> mark) in-line with regular values. It is required to escape regular values
> that have the same bit pattern as the null mark so the null mark needs to be
> relatively rare. The value of 0x80 seems a good one.
> By the way, this would greatly simplify making tuples from other tuples. E.g.
> if we need to copy values for a column range [3, 7] from one tuple to another
> tuple, we could copy values almost blindly with single memory copy. No need
> for any bit magic anymore.
