I don't see how it would get there. That implies that minimum was null, but
the count was non-zero.
The ColumnStatisticsImpl$StringStatisticsImpl.serialize looks like:
@Override
OrcProto.ColumnStatistics.Builder serialize() {
OrcProto.ColumnStatistics.Builder result = super.serialize();
OrcProto.StringStatistics.Builder str =
OrcProto.StringStatistics.newBuilder();
if (getNumberOfValues() != 0) {
str.setMinimum(getMinimum());
str.setMaximum(getMaximum());
str.setSum(sum);
}
result.setStringStatistics(str);
return result;
}
and thus shouldn't call down to setMinimum unless it had at least some
non-null values in the column.
Do you have multiple threads working? There isn't anything that should
be introducing non-determinism so for the same input it would fail at
the same point.
