> I have an URP that, in processAdd(), gets a field value via SolrInputField.getValue(). In a normal unit test this yields me a String. But in a distributed test i get a ByteArrayUtf8CharSequence.
> If it is a ByteArrayUtf8CharSequence the getStringOrNull() method always returns null unless some internal method called _getStr first.
> This is either by design or a mistake. If it is a mistake, then the fix is to use toString() and the getStringOrNull() method can be removed (it would become a duplicate for toString(). If it is by design, then nothing is obvious from the JavaDoc and it should clarify.
> This is since 7.7.0.
