Improve findClosestMapping

[DeMoorJasper]

This PR improves the findClosestMapping logic to return null if no mapping is found instead of returning the -1 mapping and no longer use a binary search but instead use the lower_bound util that is part of CPP.

This PR also ensures mappings are sorted before finding closest mapping, further increasing reliability.
