Now I want to test HBase with mock Result object.In the map(), we get value like this:
byte[] date = value.getValue(Bytes.toBytes("f"),
Bytes.toBytes("date"));
Sometimes,  the byte[] date will be null because of null value in hbase.
Now I want to create fake HBase object by using :

new KeyValue(
Bytes.toBytes(rowkey),
Bytes.toBytes(family),
Bytes.toBytes(qualifier),
1,
Bytes.toBytes(value));
But I can't set value to null to create KeyValue object.
Anybody knows how to simulate this situation?    

If you look at KeyValue, you would see the following:

  public KeyValue(final byte[] row, final byte[] family,

      final byte[] qualifier, final long timestamp, Type type) {

    this(row, family, qualifier, timestamp, type, null);

  }
Note the last parameter, null, is for value.

Cheers
