Emre Kartoglu updated FLINK-39003:
----------------------------------
Description: Draft: details coming (was: We have a Flink app that's
reading from DynamoDB streams (not the Kinesis inteegration). The app is seeing
intermittent (pretty rare, so not marking this ticket as critical) NPEs:
```

Version of the DDB connector:
```
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
<artifactId>flink-connector-dynamodb</artifactId>
<version>5.0.0-1.20</version>
</dependency>
```
The offending code appears to be
[here|https://github.com/apache/flink-connector-aws/blob/b4047bccf8903ece0553945c19f1d52b313ae84a/flink-connector-aws/flink-connector-dynamodb/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/connector/dynamodb/source/reader/PollingDynamoDbStreamsShardSplitReader.java#L104C1-L111C33]:
```
shardMetrics.setMillisBehindLatest(
Math.max(
System.currentTimeMillis()
- lastRecord
.dynamodb()
.approximateCreationDateTime()
.toEpochMilli(),
0));
```
But it's not clear to me which object in particular is null.
We insert/update/delete from DynamoDB. FWIIW, we also use the TTL functionality
but I'd think that that should be no different than normal the "delete" case in
DDB CDC.)
