Review comment:
It is a bad practice to catch NPE instead of adding a check for null. If I
understand the API correctly, `sheet.getRow(sheet.getFirstRowNum())` may return
null for the case when row is not defined. Could you please add check for null
there?

> Key: DRILL-7514
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7514
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.17.0
> Reporter: Charles Givre
> Assignee: Charles Givre
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.18.0
>
>
> Drill's Excel Format Plugin uses Apache POI to parse Excel files. While this
> reader is effective in that it parses formulae and data types, it uses memory
> inefficiently and will struggle to read very large Excel files.
> The latest version of POI addresses some of the memory issues and hopefully
> Drill will be able to query larger Excel files without running out of memory.
