NullPointerException when useBatchMultiSend is false or using Aurora

A NullPointerException occurs in AbstractMultiSend when useBatchMultiSend is false. This happens on line 241 of AstractMultiSend.java On "AbstractQueryProtocol.readScheduler.execute(futureReadTask);"

The reason is that readScheduler is not set in AbstractQueryProtocol constructor:

if (options.useBatchMultiSend && readScheduler == null) {
synchronized (AbstractQueryProtocol.class) {
if (readScheduler == null)

{ readScheduler = SchedulerServiceProviderHolder.getBulkScheduler(); }

}
}

It looks as if there is no code to do synchronous batch in "executeBatchStandard". We have implemented a synchronous version, and are willing to contribute.
