No signatures for NULL values #259

Closed wilko77 closed 1 year ago

wilko77 commented 1 year ago

We shouldn't block on missing values, as that might lead to very large blocks. We should only block on known data.

Here we introduce a 'null-sentinel' which represent the string that stands for the NULL value. Defaults to the empty string, as that is most common in csv files.
