Tobias Feldhaus commented on BEAM-1714:
---------------------------------------
So my toTableRow() became this after switching to Beam and I am trying to make
it look shorter and cleaner:
{code}
public TableRow toTableRow() {
TableRow tableRow = new TableRow();
if (ts != null){
tableRow.set("ts", ts.getMillis()/1000);
}
if (timestamp != null){
tableRow.set("timestamp", timestamp);
}
if (requestId != null){
tableRow.set("request_id", requestId);
}
....
}
{code}
> Null Pointer Exception when outputting a TableRow with a Null value for a key
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-1714
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1714
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: sdk-java-gcp
> Affects Versions: 0.5.0
> Reporter: Tobias Feldhaus
> Assignee: Mark Shalda
> Labels: newbie, starter
> Fix For: Not applicable
>
>
> When outputting a TableRow that has a Null value for a key, a Null Pointer
> Exception is thrown. In the Dataflow SDK (1.9) this case is handled by
> outputting NULL for that field.
> I would expect the same behavior from the Beam SDK - since otherwise there is
> always a lot of Null checking necessary in the user code. (Especially when
> there are nested fields.)
