Description

In Gobblin, since predicates are loaded via Java class loading and have minimal configuration options, this is not possible to invoke the Guava predicate class of `ObjectPredicate.alwaysFalse()`.

We want to enable a way for users to have alwaysFalse as a predicate to match the alwaysTrue predicate in scenarios where that configuration is needed.
