It looks like the problem is that there's a problem in reading a null value
in the AvroRowDataDeserializationSchema (see below for the snippet of code
from Flink 1.11.1).
The problem is due to the fact that there's a bad typing of the source so
the call to createConverter() within the createNullableConverter() returns
null, creating a null on fieldConverters[i] and, in the end, a NullPointer
in fieldConverters[i].convert(). Does it make sense?
static DeserializationRuntimeConverter createRowConverter(RowType rowType) {
final DeserializationRuntimeConverter[] fieldConverters =
rowType.getFields().stream()
.map(RowType.RowField::getType)
.map(AvroRowDataDeserializationSchema::createNullableConverter)
.toArray(DeserializationRuntimeConverter[]::new);
final int arity = rowType.getFieldCount();
return avroObject -> {
IndexedRecord record = (IndexedRecord) avroObject;
GenericRowData row = new GenericRowData(arity);
for (int i = 0; i < arity; ++i) {
row.setField(i, fieldConverters[i].convert(record.get(i)));
}
return row;
};
}
Best,
Flavio
