   Apologies @javanna, but after looking more at your changes, I'm getting worried that this change is harder than I had anticipated. I was optimistically hoping that never returning null PointValues would automatically help save some NullPointerExceptions but looking at your change it looks like there are many places where we just need to replace these null checks with other checks if we want to keep the logic correct, so things wouldn't magically work on segments that have ghost fields unless we explicitly test ghost fields. So I would suggest closing this PR, apologies for the time you spent on it.
