I’m with Emmanuel on this. I’d much rather avoid relying on whether something is null/not-null and instead rely on a more typesafe solution. In fact, for remote listeners, org.infinispan.client.hotrod.event.ClientEvent has a type that allows the client to detect the type of the event received, independent of what the value(s) contain.
