It can be often the case that a Promise is used for the purposes of asynchronous operations in an isolated thread / persistence interceptor context. These async operations may not even care about a return type because they may be kicking off other error handling behaviors. In the case of the rxjava based implementations, rxjava gets angry when a return is null based and throws several exceptions:
Example:
This PR resolves this by translating null to a Void object type which allows this to pass through and behave like other Promise implementations.
