Hi, I am getting the following exception in my code, I can observe that there's something wrong while serializing my Object, the class of which looks something like this: https://gist.github.com/revolutionisme/1eea5ccf5e1d4a5452f27a1fd5c05ff1
The exact cause it seems is some field inside my nested object which is null (reversalIndicator ), but its not exactly clear why this exception is thrown, one interesting thing to note is when I serialized with kryo before, it serialized properly without any issues. Is it some requirement of the avro serializer or some bug ? or Some problem on my end? 2017-08-22 17:21:48,892 ERROR com.airplus.poc.flink.statefulFunctions.UpdateTxnState - Something unexpected happened - probably malformed event java.lang.RuntimeException: Error while adding data to RocksDB at org.apache.flink.contrib.streaming.state.RocksDBValueState.update(RocksDBValueState.java:102) at com.airplus.poc.flink.statefulFunctions.UpdateTxnState.processElement(UpdateTxnState.java:98) at com.airplus.poc.flink.statefulFunctions.UpdateTxnState.processElement(UpdateTxnState.java:1) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.KeyedProcessOperator.processElement(KeyedProcessOperator.java:94) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.io.StreamInputProcessor.processInput(StreamInputProcessor.java:206) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.OneInputStreamTask.run(OneInputStreamTask.java:69) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.StreamTask.invoke(StreamTask.java:263) at org.apache.flink.runtime.taskmanager.Task.run(Task.java:702) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: in com.airplus.poc.flink.model.TransactionStateModel in com.airplus.poc.generated.xjc.RecordReadEventType in com.airplus.poc.generated.xjc.RawTransactionItemType in string null of string in field reversalIndicator of com.airplus.poc.generated.xjc.RawTransactionItemType in field rawTransactionItem of com.airplus.poc.generated.xjc.RecordReadEventType in field recordReadEvent of com.airplus.poc.flink.model.TransactionStateModel at org.apache.avro.reflect.ReflectDatumWriter.write(ReflectDatumWriter.java:145) at org.apache.avro.generic.GenericDatumWriter.write(GenericDatumWriter.java:58) at org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.runtime.AvroSerializer.serialize(AvroSerializer.java:135) at org.apache.flink.contrib.streaming.state.RocksDBValueState.update(RocksDBValueState.java:99) ... 8 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException Thanks & Regards, Biplob -- View this message in context: http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Expception-with-Avro-Serialization-on-RocksDBStateBackend-tp15067.html Sent from the Apache Flink User Mailing List archive. mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
