Pei He commented on BEAM-736: ----------------------------- NPE comes from here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/commit/cca861ba82a2e6ba6c6af122be0b8a9932d53cc5#diff-5b2e45465c4a6abd7d59967281b3a8b4R550 bigQueryServices is lazily initialized. It should be accessed through getBigQueryServices(). It is easy to fix. This bug is introduced during the backport, not from Dataflow. Two things could be improved: 1. better coding pattern to prevent bigQueryServices being accessed before it is initialized. 2. better logging in BigQueryTornadoesIT to provide full stack trace. > BigQueryTornadoesIT broken, blocking nightly release. > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: BEAM-736 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-736 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: Bug > Components: testing > Reporter: Jason Kuster > Assignee: Pei He > > Build break begins here: > https://builds.apache.org/job/beam_PostCommit_MavenVerify/1471/ > listing 3 potential culprit commits. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
