  20 # Arrow Java API Changes
  21
  22 This document tracks behavior changes to Java APIs, as listed below.
  23
  24 - **[ARROW-5973](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5973)**:
  25   * **Start date**: 2019/07/18
  26   * **Resolve date**: 2019/07/20
  27   * **Brief description**: The semantics of the get methods for [VarCharVector](./vector/scr/main/org/apache/arrow/vector/VarCharVector.java), [VarBinaryVector](./vector/scr/main/org/apache/arrow/vector/VarBinaryVector.java), and [FixedSizeBinaryVector](./vector/scr/main/org/apache/arrow/vector/FixedSizeBinaryVector.java) changes. In the past, if the validity bit is clear, the methods throw throws an IllegalStateException when NULL_CHECKING_ENABLED is set, or returns an empty object when the flag is not set. Now, the get methods return a null if the validity bit is clear.

  29 - **[ARROW-5842](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5842)**:
  30   * **Start date**: 2019/07/04
  31   * **Resolve date**: 2019/07/11
  32   * **Brief description**: The semantics of lastSet member in class [ListVector](./vector/src/main/java/org/apache/arrow/vector/complex/ListVector.java) changes. In the past, it refers to the next index that will be set. After the change it points to the last index that is actually set.
