Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-4147:
-------------------------------------------

Explicitly inserting a null doesn't make much sense either; to Cassandra/CQL, null is the complete absence of a value.  So we'll *return* a null if you ask for column {{foo}} and no {{foo}} exists for a given row, but I can't think of why you'd want to explicitly insert one.  (And a row consisting entirely of nulls wouldn't exist at all...)
