Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-6545:
---------------------------------------
By the details here this seems easy to surgically fix and have a regression
test. But I agree it seems very suspicious what situations could cause it.
> NPE when decoding null base 64 strings

> Key: BEAM-6545

> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: sdk-java-harness
> Affects Versions: 2.9.0
> Reporter: Ahmet Altay
> Assignee: Ahmet Altay
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.10.0

> **ByteArrayShufflePosition.fromBase64 is marked with a @Nullable argument,
> however it does not properly handle null inputs resulting in NPE.
> This seems like an unintended change we picked up from the dependency:
> google-http-java-client/ switched from apache commons to guava
> ([https://github.com/googleapis/google-http-java-client/commit/990c534f0e5103a142b0639c12c90cb990a00cfd#diff-97264fba16d690a26d63fbbc992af937)]

> and decodeBase64 behaves differently in both cases. Former can handle null by
> returning null, latter will throw NPE.
