matriv opened a new pull request #19249:
URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/19249


   ## What is the purpose of the change
   
   Previously, when the Json aggregation is taking place, and id
   JsonOnNull.NULL is selected, which means that we still want to emit
   a `null` JSON node, .i.e `{.... "myField" : null ... }` when no values
   get accumulated, we used a null `StringData` object. When
   `state.backend.changelog.enabled` is enabled, the contents of the map
   accumulating the aggregated records, gets serialized leading to NPE,
   since `null` is not supported by `StringDataSerilizer`.
   
   To solve this, we instead create a StringData with an empty `byte[]`,
   which denotes the null, and when the aggregation ends and we create
   the final JSON result, we check for a `byte[]` of `length` `0` in
   order to write the JSON `null` node.
   
   
   ## Verifying this change
   
   This change added tests and can be verified as follows:
   
     - Change the parent class: `BuiltInAggregateFunctionTestBase` of 
`JsonAggregationFunctionsITCase` to run the whole set of tests with 
`state.backend.changelog.enabled` both `true` and `false`.
