NullPointerException when Creating Reflection

tha · November 8, 2022, 10:04am

Hey,

I am using dremio 23.0.1 in a docker environment with a docker-compose file:

...
  
  dremio-app:
    hostname: dremio-app
    container_name: dremio_app
    user: root
    image: ${EXT_REGISTRY}/dremio/dremio-oss:23.0.1
    ports:
      - 9047:9047 # UI
      - 31010:31010 # ODBC clients
      - 32010:32010 # Arrow Flight clients
      - 2181:2181   # ZooKeeper
      - 45678:45678 # internode communication
    volumes:
      - dremio_app:/opt/dremio/data
      - ./dremio/backup:/tmp/backup:z
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - dremio-app-init

Currently there is one MySQL database connected. The query fetches data from various datasets created in Dremio. I am currently having trouble creating reflections for some datasets because a NullPointerException gets thrown. Running the Query (or Preview) works fine and gives me a valid Resultset, but as soon as I want to create a reflection, the error occurs.

I have attached the profiles for both the query and reflection:

query.zip (69,5 KB)

raw reflection.zip (64,3 KB)

Hope someone can help me out!

@tha NPE is for sure not good but I see that there is a VDS on top of data.hypervisor that you are creating the reflection on? Dashboards.virtual_machines.vm_stats_per_host_cluster

tha · November 10, 2022, 10:18am

Yeah, for this VDS I am querying other VDS which also have their respective reflection. That shoud not be a problem, right?

@tha

What happens if you run a query on Dashboards.virtual_machines.vm_stats_per_host_cluster?

Benny_Chow · December 1, 2022, 8:02am

It’s odd that this NPE would happen with a REFRESH REFLECTION job but not a normal SQL query. The NPE is occurring when trying to estimate row counts during join ordering. We’d have to get a full repro to be able to debug further.

@tha
Can you please try the same reflection build on 23.1 and update?
