Description

Since NUTCH-1714 was committed, we have had broken tests. This is due to Gora object constrctors being used as oppose to the Object .build()ers.
The constrctors are more efficient in memory, however they do not set default values for fields which means we can sometimes get NPE when we attempt to serde data.
