Proto objects throw a NullPointerException if you pass a null value into any setFoo method. Our current mappers make strong assumptions about what fields are and aren't necessary, and any time they don't match either the server or the client logic we get a vague NullPointerException. Instead, map all objects and don't assume that any field is non-null. The server or client should enforce the validity of the requests rather than the mapper. Additionally don't mutate Maps that we receive from Thrift/Proto in WorkflowContext.

do we need nil check for wfID and runID?

Those are handled within the workflowRunPair method. If they're null the field in the WorkflowExecution will be empty.
