-----------------------------------------------------------------
IMHO, we can also improve the code by not calling the serializer in the first
place if we get a {{put(key, null)}}. Thus, we can insure that {{rawValue}}
will be {{null}} even if the serializer might not return {{null}}.

> Key: KAFKA-4750
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4750
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: streams
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1, 0.10.2.1, 0.11.0.0
> Reporter: Michal Borowiecki

> The API for ReadOnlyKeyValueStore.range method promises the returned iterator
> will not return null values. However, after upgrading from 0.10.0.0 to
> 0.10.1.1 we found null values are returned causing NPEs on our side.
> I found this happens after removing entries from the store and I found
> resemblance to SAMZA-94 defect. The problem seems to be as it was there, when
> deleting entries and having a serializer that does not return null when null
> is passed in, the state store doesn't actually delete that key/value pair but
> the iterator will return null value for that key.
> When I modified our serilizer to return null when null is passed in, the
> problem went away. However, I believe this should be fixed in kafka streams,
> perhaps with a similar approach as SAMZA-94.
