LIU Xiao updated FLINK-11987:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
We are using Flink 1.6.2 in our production environment, and kafka producer 
occasionally throws NullpointerException.

We found in line 175 of 
flink/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kafka-0.11/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/connectors/kafka/FlinkKafkaProducer011.java,
 NEXT_TRANSACTIONAL_ID_HINT_DESCRIPTOR was created as a static variable.

Then in line 837, 
"context.getOperatorStateStore().getUnionListState(NEXT_TRANSACTIONAL_ID_HINT_DESCRIPTOR);"
 was called, and that leads to line 734 of 
 
flink/flink-runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/runtime/state/DefaultOperatorStateBackend.java:
 "stateDescriptor.initializeSerializerUnlessSet(getExecutionConfig());"

In function initializeSerializerUnlessSet(line 283 of 
flink/flink-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/api/common/state/StateDescriptor.java):

if (serializer == null) {
  checkState(typeInfo != null, "no serializer and no type info");
  // instantiate the serializer
  serializer = typeInfo.createSerializer(executionConfig);
  // we can drop the type info now, no longer needed
  typeInfo  = null;
}

"serializer = typeInfo.createSerializer(executionConfig);" is the line which 
throws the exception.

We think that's because multiple subtasks of the same producer in a same 
TaskManager share a same NEXT_TRANSACTIONAL_ID_HINT_DESCRIPTOR.
