    BEAM-724 - Null pointer fix

    This seems like a timing Issue. Its reproducible in case where Kafka topic 
does not exist yet. The UDF operator run is not called yet, but other thread 
calls snapshot before that:
    
    ```
    java.lang.RuntimeException: Error while triggering checkpoint for Source: 
Read(UnboundedKafkaSource) -> ParDo(KafkaRecordToCTuple) -> 
ParDo(NetFlowToFlowContentTransformation) -> 
ParDo(FlowContentToRelationsTransformation) -> ParDo(GraphToJsonTransformation) 
-> AnonymousParDo -> ParDo(KafkaWriter) (1/1)
