Description: 

In Drupal 7, $query->condition('field', NULL) matched rows when the field contained a NULL. However, as SQL (despite being called a relational database) is employing a 3VL, any logical operation on a NULL value results in NULL so this behavior is wrong. This is fixed in D8 and $query->condition('field', NULL) will never match anything. Use $query->isNull('field'); instead.
