> If qualifier to check is null, the checkAndMutate/checkAndPut/checkAndDelete will encounter NPE.
> The test code:
> {code}
> table.checkAndPut(row, family, null, Bytes.toBytes(0), new Put(row).addColumn(family, null, Bytes.toBytes(1)));
> {code}
> The exception:
> {code}

> The reason is {{LiteralByteString.size()}} will throw NPE if wrapped byte array is null. It is possible to invoke {{put}} and {{checkAndMutate}} on the same column, because null qualifier is allowed for {{Put}},  users may be confused if null qualifier is not allowed for {{checkAndMutate}}. We can also convert null qualifier to empty byte array for {{checkAndMutate}} in client side. Discussions and suggestions are welcomed.
