    I know the null checking stuff will make our code more safe, but we usually 
 don't do that in the API implementation, as it saves lots of redundant of 
code, that's almost the general conversion, otherwise we need to make a note in 
the scaladoc/javadoc. 
    
    Expression framework (including the `UTF8String`) is a quite independent 
system to SQL, follow the general API design principles will be OK, and I 
believe it's the responsibility for SQLLayer to make the right calls.
