> {{ReflectData.AllowNulls}} will always create nullable types, even if the reflected object has primitive fields. When assigning a null to a primitive field, Java always throws a {{NullPointerException}}. I think the right thing to do is to allow nulls for any {{Object}} and return required schemas for primitive types.
