> The JVM RowCoder strips trailing 0s from the null-value bitmap, while both python and go expect all bits to be present in the encoded bitmap. This causes index-out-of-range errors when trying to decode a row encoded on the JVM in other languages in some circumstances.
> For example, given a Row with 10 nullable fields, if the first 8 are null and the last two are set, the row will fail to decode in python, because the nullable bitmap will only have 1 byte, but the python coder expects 2.
> As discussed in the thread, the best solution here is probably to change the python (and go) coders to accept truncated nullable bitmaps.
