    Guards against null-pointer during schema validation

    This edit fixes a null-pointer exception which we encountered during testing. Truncated stack trace:
    ```
    [2016-04-04 18:27:03,667] ERROR CRITICAL: Failed to serialize offset data, making it impossible to commit offsets under namespace test-fileconnector-source. This likely won't recover unless the unserializable partition or offset information is overwritten. (org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.OffsetStorageWriter:152)
    [2016-04-04 18:27:03,667] ERROR Cause of serialization failure: (org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.OffsetStorageWriter:155)
