[jira] [Updated] (FLINK-21160) ValueDeserializerWrapper throws NullPointerException when getProducedType is invoked

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21160?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dong Lin updated FLINK-21160:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
The variable {{deserializer}} in class {{ValueDeserializerWrapper}} won't be instantiated until method {{deserialize()}} is invoked in runtime, so in the job compiling stage when invoking {{getProducedType()}}, NPE will be thrown because of referencing the uninstantiated variable {{deserializer}}.

A user reported that the new {{KafkaSource}} fails with a {{NullPointerException}}:

{code}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.flink.connector.kafka.source.reader.deserializer.ValueDeserializerWrapper.getProducedType(ValueDeserializerWrapper.java:79)
at org.apache.flink.connector.kafka.source.KafkaSource.getProducedType(KafkaSource.java:171)
at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment.getTypeInfo(StreamExecutionEnvironment.java:2282)
at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment.fromSource(StreamExecutionEnvironment.java:1744)
at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment.fromSource(StreamExecutionEnvironment.java:1715)
{code}

when setting it up like this:

{code}
val kafkaSource = buildKafkaSource(params)
val datastream = env.fromSource(kafkaSource, WatermarkStrategy.noWatermarks(), "kafka")

private fun buildKafkaSource(params: ParameterTool): KafkaSource<String> {
    val builder = KafkaSource.builder<String>()
        .setBootstrapServers(params.get("bootstrapServers"))
        .setGroupId(params.get("groupId"))
        .setStartingOffsets(OffsetsInitializer.earliest())
        .setTopics("topic")
        .setDeserializer(KafkaRecordDeserializer.valueOnly(StringDeserializer::class.java))

    if (params.getBoolean("boundedSource", false)) {
        builder.setBounded(OffsetsInitializer.latest())
    }

    return builder.build()
}
{code}

The problem seems to be that the {{ValueDeserializerWrapper}} does not set the deserializer the deserialize method is called, but {{getProducedType}} is actually called first resulting in the {{NullPointerException}}.
