Re: [infinispan-dev] Remote execute null return (ISPN-6406)
I think this is pretty common problem [3].
On the other hand most of the users won't be interested in distinguishing
nulls from empty strings (at least in my opinion). So how about leaving it
as is by default and creating some configuration parameter for using new
status code as you suggested (just in case someone would have to
distinguish those two).
This way we would be somewhat backwards compatible and we would have a
rescue option for some users who would need this feature.

Hi all,
A Hot Rod protocol change might be required as a result of [1].
In essence, the Hot Rod protocol does not specify how remote exec calls
that return null should respond back to the client [2].
Returning an empty byte[] won't cut it since returning an empty String
would be represented that way, and that's different to null.
I don't know how this could be handled without modifying the protocol, any
ideas?
If modifying the protocol, adding a new status code would be a way to
handle it.
Thoughts?
