Question regarding "nil"

[JensRantil]

I am using Jedis#lindex([]byte). Its JavaDoc states that it might return 'nil'. Does that mean need to compare it against new String("nil").toBytes(CharSets.LATIN1) to check for existence? Or is it some other way? How about adding a constant to compare against and refer to that in the JavaDoc?

@JensRantil null java type is returned. The doc references Redis API mainly, I guess it's something we need to change.

Here you have an example:

Let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks @marcosnils. Yes, the JavaDoc definitely need to clarify this. Especially the @return part of the JavaDocs. I'll leave this issue open until that's done (unless there's a better issue for it).

@JensRantil there are some javadoc issues open already. I'll close this one as we have the others

Hi again @marcosnils, sorry for being a pain - could you refer to an issue the would solve this? I think it would be fair to do that for future reference.
