nizarhejazi opened a new issue #8374:
URL: https://github.com/apache/pinot/issues/8374
Currently, if:
1. `nullHandlingEnabled` is set to True.
2. Inbuilt DateTime functions that cannot take null (e.g. `FromDateTime`,
`ToDateTime`, etc.) are used as ingestion transforms (in transformConfigs).
3. Input column value is null.
Then: these inbuilt functions throws `java.lang.NullPointerException`
instead of marking the value as null in the null index.
Example:
```
"ingestionConfig": {
"transformConfigs": [
{
"columnName": "updatedAt_timestamp",
"transformFunction": "FromDateTime(updatedAt,
'yyyy-MM-dd''T''HH:mm:ss.SSS''Z''')"
}
]
}
...
"nullHandlingEnabled": True,
```
Note: Cannot use inbuilt functions in Groovy scripts (otherwise the
following exception is thrown: MissingPropertyException: No such property:
DateTimeFormat for class: Script1).
Recommendation:
- Add an annotation for DateTime functions that cannot take null, and just
return null when the function is annotated if used in transformConfigs.
Question: What to do if end user wrote a Groovy script as an ingestion
transform and used a function that cannot handle nulls?
Planning to send a PR to address the issue.
