GitHub user robshep added a comment to the discussion: Cannot parse <null> schema
Hi No, sadly I cannot recreate this issue in isolation. But It occurs on ~50% of redeploys and requires repeated restarts of the application to clear it. We use TestContainers as part of the integration tests to spin up pulsar in isolation and it never happens in this scenario. (Empty schema registry when consumer and producer connects, then schema def on first use) I’d be happy to spend time on this if anyone has any ideas on how I might recreate it.

I am running pulsar 2.7.1 and I have a topic with AVRO schema where my producers push avro messages and consumer receives and process the avro data. My consumer application receives the message through pulsar client's MessageListener. All my topic messages are tagged with the latest avro schema version. And I could see that schema in the Pulsar cluster's SchemaRegistry. But I am facing the following issue when my consumer application starts and consumes message. org.apache.pulsar.shade.com.google.common.util.concurrent.UncheckedExecutionException: org.apache.pulsar.shade.org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Cannot parse <null> schema at org.apache.pulsar.shade.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.get(LocalCache.java:2051) at org.apache.pulsar.shade.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache.get(LocalCache.java:3951) at org.apache.pulsar.shade.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache.getOrLoad(LocalCache.java:3974) at org.apache.pulsar.shade.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$LocalLoadingCache.get(LocalCache.java:4935) at org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.schema.reader.AbstractMultiVersionReader.read(AbstractMultiVersionReader.java:86) at org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.schema.AbstractStructSchema.decode(AbstractStructSchema.java:60) at org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.MessageImpl.getValue(MessageImpl.java:301) at org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.TopicMessageImpl.getValue(TopicMessageImpl.java:143) at com.kohia.galaxy.listener.MessageListenerImpl.received(Messa geListenerImpl.kt:20) at org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.ConsumerBase.callMessageListener(ConsumerBase.java:882) at org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.ConsumerBase.lambda$triggerListener$5(ConsumerBase.java:862) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.access$201(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:180) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:293) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624) at org.apache.pulsar.shade.io.netty.util.concurrent.FastThreadLocalRunnable.run(FastThreadLocalRunnable.java:30) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Caused by: org.apache.pulsar.shade.org.apache.avro.SchemaParseException: Cannot parse <null> schema at org.apache.pulsar.shade.org.apache.avro.Schema.parse(Schema.java:1597) at org.apache.pulsar.shade.org.apache.avro.Schema$Parser.parse(Schema.java:1396) at org.apache.pulsar.shade.org.apache.avro.Schema$Parser.parse(Schema.java:1384) at org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.schema.util.SchemaUtil.parseAvroSchema(SchemaUtil.java:46) at org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.schema.reader.MultiVersionAvroReader.loadReader(MultiVersionAvroReader.java:53) at org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.schema.reader.AbstractMultiVersionReader$1.load(AbstractMultiVersionReader.java:52) at org.apache.pulsar.client.impl.schema.reader.AbstractMultiVersionReader$1.load(AbstractMultiVersionReader.java:49) at org.apache.pulsar.shade.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$LoadingValueReference.loadFuture(LocalCache.java:3529) at org.apache.pulsar.shade.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.loadSync(LocalCache.java:2278) at org.apache.pulsar.shade.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.lockedGetOrLoad(LocalCache.java:2155 ) at org.apache.pulsar.shade.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.get(LocalCache.java:2045) ... 18 common frames omitted The above exception occurs for all the message that is received by the consumer. But when I restart my consumer application, it starts working fine and the above exception is not occurring. This issue occurs randomly when I restart my consumer application and when I again restarted it works fine and all the message are processed properly. Here is my subcription code, pulsarClient .newConsumer(AvroSchema.of(MyMetric::class)) .topic(topicName).subscriptionName(subscriptionName) .subscriptionType(SubscriptionType.Shared) .receiverQueueSize(localQueueMsgCount) .messageListener(myMessageListener) .subscribe() Here is my Listener code(short version), import org.apache.pulsar.client.api.Consumer import org.apache.pulsar.client.api.Message import org.apache.pulsar.client.api.MessageListener import java.net.InetAddress class MyMessageListener<T>() : MessageListener<T> { override fun received(consumer: Consumer<T>, msg: Message<T>) { try { process(msg.value) consumer.acknowledge(msg) } catch (ex: Exception) { consumer.negativeAcknowledge(msg) } } fun process(metric:MyMetric){} } When I debug, I could find the following log at the time when my consumer application is working perfectly. Load schema reader for version(2), schema is : {"type":"record","name":"MyMetric","namespace":"com.example","fields":[{"name":"assetId","type":"long"},{"name":"utctime","type":{"type":"string","avro.java.string":"String"}}]}, schemaInfo: { "name": "mytenant/mynamesapce/mytopic", "schema": { "type": "record", "name": "MyMetric", "namespace": "com.example", "fields": [ { "name": "assetId", "type": "long" }, { "name": "utctime", "type": { "type": "string", "avro.java.string": "String" } } ] }, "type": "AVRO", "properties": { "__alwaysAllowNull": "true", "__jsr310ConversionEnabled": "false" } } But at the time when my consumer application works weird, I could find the following log which doesn't have any schema info, Load schema reader for version(2), schema is : , schemaInfo: { "name": "", "schema": "", "type": "NONE", "properties": {} } Can u guys please help me resolve this issue. We are already in production and we find it diffficult to restart our consumer applications each and every time when this issue occurs. @robshep<https://github.com/robshep> @congbobo184<https://github.com/congbobo184> Did you find any root cause for this issue or any way to fix it, if so kindly share so that it may help us.
