[jira] [Updated] (BEAM-6963) Bug in RuntimeValueProvider JSON serialization

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-6963?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

> Bug in RuntimeValueProvider JSON serialization
> ----------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: BEAM-6963
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-6963
>             Project: Beam
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: sdk-java-core
>    Affects Versions: 2.11.0
>            Reporter: Balázs Németh
>            Priority: P2
>              Labels: Clarified
>          Time Spent: 20m
>  Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Classes affected:
>  org.apache.beam.sdk.options.ValueProvider.Serializer
>  org.apache.beam.sdk.options.ValueProvider.Deserializer
> The problem is that according to the JsonDeserializer documentation, the deserialize method isn't executed for null nodes:
>  ( [https://static.javadoc.io/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-databind/2.9.6/com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/JsonDeserializer.html#deserialize(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser,%20com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext)|https://static.javadoc.io/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-databind/2.9.6/com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/JsonDeserializer.html#deserialize(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParser,%20com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.DeserializationContext] )
>  )
>  "Note that this method is never called for JSON null literal, and thus deserializers need (and should) not check for it."
> If we serialize a RuntimeValueProvider, the isAccessible() will return false, so we call a writeNull(). During deserialization this isn't handled properly as mentioned and our deserialization will return null.
> The end result is that getters with ValueProvider return values will return "null". AFAIK ValueProvider getters should be never null.
> My guess is that either we should completely omit serializing RuntimeValueProviders, or during deserialization the proper runtime value provider should be created again - which requires more than just a simple "null" being present in the json.
