> When Flink tries to serialize a tuple with a null field, you get the following, which has no information about where in the program the problem occurred (all the stack trace lines are in Flink, not in user code).
> {noformat}
> Exception in thread "main" org.apache.flink.runtime.client.JobExecutionException: Job execution failed.

> The only thing I can tell from this is that it happened somewhere in a flatMap (but I have dozens of them in my code). Surely there's a way to pull out the source file name and line number from the program DAG node when errors like this occur?
