URL: https://github.com/apache/ignite/issues/11983
NullPointerException during Client Node Join in Apache Ignite 2.15.0
**Environment:**
Apache Ignite Version: 2.15.0
Cluster Size: 14 server nodes, 4 client nodes
Deployment: Dockerized nodes with host networking
JDK: Java 17
OS: RHEL 9
**Summary**
When a client node attempts to join an existing Apache Ignite cluster, a
NullPointerException is thrown during the partition map exchange phase. The
error occurs in GridCachePartitionExchangeManager.clientTopology, where it
attempts to invoke .config() on a null CacheGroupDescriptor.
**Error Logs**

`
**Reproduction Steps**
Start a cluster with 14 server nodes.
Try joining 4 client nodes in parallel as the cluster is coming up.
**Impact**
Prevents successful join of client nodes during topology changes.
**Expected Behavior**
Client node should be able to join and complete partition exchange without
encountering NullPointerException.
