                  This property indicates that this column is nullable. However, setting this property is insufficient for making the column nullable. The user must declare the type of the column as a union between its regular type and 'null' in the Avro schema for the record type in <a href="/content/api/java/com/gpudb/protocol/CreateTypeRequest#getTypeDefinition()"><code>typeDefinition</code></a>. For example, if a column is of type integer and is nullable, then the entry for the column in the Avro schema must be: \['int', 'null'].
                  <p> The C++, C#, Java, and Python APIs have built-in convenience for bypassing setting the Avro schema by hand. For those languages, one can use this property as usual and not have to worry about the Avro schema for the record.</p>
