Goal

On : 12.1.2.0.0 version, Oracle Coherence

ConverterMap.containsValue(null) returns false using coherence version 12.1.2 whereas it returns true on version 3.5.3.x, encountered an issue with oracle coherence 12.1.2.0.0 version. Customer saw this behavior when 3.5.3.x cluster upgraded to 12.1.2.0.0 version.
 
The Map class returned from the com.tangosol.net.NamedCache.invokeAll() method is com.oracle.common.collections.ConverterCollections$ConverterMap, if customer invokes values() method on the above map, it prints ConverterCollection{null, null}. Calling containsValue(null) on above map prints false in 12.1.2 whereas it prints true in 3.5.3.x.  The containsValue(null) should actually return true, as the map has null values, but somehow in 12.1.2 it returning false.
