There might be two options: - Rely on whether `dataBuffer` is null, not quite sure whether it is suggested to use `Optional` by the latest guideline . - Define a new boolean field in `BufferResponse` to describe this info, but it seems a bit redundant with `dataBuffer` state. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
