https://github.com/apache/incubator-carbondata/pull/202    [CARBONDATA-278] IS NULL and IS NOT NULL shall be push down to carbon
    **Current design** : As per the current design IS NULL and IS NOT NULL filter is been handled by spark layer
    **Drawback** :  Block/Blocklet level pruning will not be possible if the filter is been processed by spark layer
    **Proposed Improvement**:  IS NULL and IS NOT NULL shall be push down to carbon layer since carbon layer can process these filters faster using block/block-let pruning , also while processing filters in executers  carbon is applying binary search for applying filter values.
