> It appears that the tables in Arrays.fill call is nulls. I don't really have full understanding of this path, but what I gleaned so far is this...
> From what I see, tables would be set unconditionally in initializeOp of the sink, and in no other place, so I assume for this code to ever  work that startForward calls it at least some time.
> Here, it doesn't call it, so it's null. 
> Previous loop also uses tables, and should have NPE-d before fill was ever called; it didn't, so I'd assume it never executed. 
> There's a little bit of inconsistency in the above code where directWorks are added to parents unconditionally but sink is only added as child conditionally. I think it may be that some of the direct works are not table scans; in fact given that loop never executes they may be null (which is rather strange). 
> Regardless, it seems that the logic should be fixed, it may be the root cause
