@omkreddy that is... an excellent question. * In `HEAD` the only place it's set to non-null is in `RequestResponseTest` * In 9a4f00f78b (i.e. just before the change to use the generated message classes the situation is the same: Only non-null call sites are two tests in `RequestResponseTest` * ... and I chased it all the way back to 972b7545363ae, when the RPC was added, and it seems that this has always been the situation. One or two callers with non-null keys in `RequestResponseTest`. Thus supported (but without any test coverage) at the protocol level, but never exposed in the Java API. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
