I assume the purpose of putting an empty bytes is to empty an existing cell
data in the column family. If so, I think we should mention that in the
description of this and 'Skip Field' options so that user can understand
ramifications, such as 'Skipping null value doesn't clear existing cell value.'
.. etc
