      Document that when the field is either not existent, or not a number, it throws an NullPointer exception

      BasicDBObject dbo = new BasicDBObject();
System.out.println(dbo.get("A"));       // => null
System.out.println(dbo.getString("A")); // => null
System.out.println(dbo.getDate("A"));   // => null
System.out.println(dbo.getLong("A"));   // => throws NullPointer
System.out.println(dbo.getInt("A"));    // => throws NullPointer
