> Onboard error class for NPE in stream-stream join, with context
> ---------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: SPARK-56361
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-56361
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Structured Streaming
> Affects Versions: 4.2.0
> Reporter: Jungtaek Lim
> Assignee: Jungtaek Lim
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> When there is some issue on stream-stream join (most likely an out of sync
> between two state stores), stream-stream join can throw NPE.
> Throwing NPE does not help anything for users and devs. For users, NPE is
> mostly cryptic error and they know nothing what to do to mitigate the issue.
> There is no information around context, so debugging is almost impossible for
> devs when this happens.
> We have captured several places which could throw NPE - we should provide the
> better error for users which is less cryptic and gives a quick mitigation if
> they are willing to tolerate losing some data to keep the query running. For
> devs, we should leave the context to the log so that when users come to devs
> with the error, devs can at least know where to start with.
