Martin Scholl created FLINK-4108: ------------------------------------ Summary: NPE in Row.productArity Key: FLINK-4108 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4108 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Batch Connectors and Input/Output Formats, Type Serialization System Affects Versions: 1.1.0 Reporter: Martin Scholl
[this is my first issue request here, please apologize if something is missing] JDBCInputFormat of flink 1.1-SNAPSHOT fails with an NPE in Row.productArity: {quote} java.io.IOException: Couldn't access resultSet at org.apache.flink.api.java.io.jdbc.JDBCInputFormat.nextRecord(JDBCInputFormat.java:288) at org.apache.flink.api.java.io.jdbc.JDBCInputFormat.nextRecord(JDBCInputFormat.java:98) at org.apache.flink.runtime.operators.DataSourceTask.invoke(DataSourceTask.java:162) at org.apache.flink.runtime.taskmanager.Task.run(Task.java:588) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.flink.api.table.Row.productArity(Row.scala:28) at org.apache.flink.api.java.io.jdbc.JDBCInputFormat.nextRecord(JDBCInputFormat.java:279) ... 4 more {quote} The code reproduce this can be found in this gist: https://gist.github.com/zeitgeist/b91a60460661618ca4585e082895c616 The reason for the NPE, I believe, is the way through which Flink creates Row instances through Kryo. As Row expects the number of fields to allocate as a parameter, which Kryo does not provide, the ‘fields’ member of Row ends up being null. As I’m neither a reflection nor a Kryo expert, I rather leave a true analysis to more knowledgable programmers. Part of the aforementioned example is a not very elegant workaround though a custom type and a cast (function {{jdbcNoIssue}} + custom Row type {{MyRow}}) to serve as a further hint towards my theory. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
