Description

On a select query map tasks will fail with npe for a where clause on a null map. on an ORC table
example
select * from my table where mymap['entry'] = 'something'
If my map where to be null in a line we will get an npe exception.
Maybe the line should just be ignored.
The same query on a text format table will resolve correctly
