To increase encoding efficiency, when encoding nulls in a Tablet, the previous value will be used as the placeholder for nulls.
When the previous value itself is null, an exception will be raised.
Instead of using the previous value, the last non-null value (or a default value if none exists) is used as the placeholder.
