-----------------------------------------

             Summary: NullPointerException when reading a string field in a nested struct from an Orc file.
                 Key: FLINK-13292
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-13292
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Connectors / ORC
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Alejandro Sellero


When I try to read an Orc file using flink-orc an NullPointerException exception is thrown.
I think this issue could be related with this closed issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8230

This happens when trying to read the string fields in a nested struct. This is my schema:
{code:java}
      "struct<" +
        "operation:int," +
        "originalTransaction:bigInt," +
        "bucket:int," +
        "rowId:bigInt," +
        "currentTransaction:bigInt," +
        "row:struct<" +
        "id:int," +
        "headline:string," +
        "user_id:int," +
        "company_id:int," +
        "created_at:timestamp," +
        "updated_at:timestamp," +
        "link:string," +
        "is_html:tinyint," +
        "source:string," +
        "company_feed_id:int," +
        "editable:tinyint," +
        "body_clean:string," +
        "activitystream_activity_id:bigint," +
        "uniqueness_checksum:string," +
        "rating:string," +
        "kununu_review_id:int," +
        "soft_deleted:tinyint," +
        "type:string," +
        "metadata:string," +
        "url:string," +
        "imagecache_uuid:string," +
        "video_id:int" +
        ">>",{code}
{code:java}

Instead to use the TableApi I am trying to read the orc files in the Batch mode as following:
{code:java}
      env
        .readFile(
          new OrcRowInputFormat(
          "",
          "SCHEMA_GIVEN_BEFORE",
          new HadoopConfiguration()
        ),
        "PATH_TO_FOLDER"
        )
        .writeAsText("file:///tmp/test/fromOrc")
{code}


Thanks for your support
