getGlobal()
method is returning
null
, and subsequently, the
getStreamStates()
method is being invoked on this
null

While the specific error message you provided is not directly mentioned in the knowledge sources, there are related issues and comments that might help you understand and troubleshoot the problem. 1. Community Involvement for Typesense: - The Typesense destination is part of the community connectors and is not currently on the Airbyte roadmap for updates in the next quarter.

To address the
NullPointerException
you're encountering with the Typesense destination and MySQL connection, follow these steps: 1. Check State Message Configuration: Ensure that your state messages are correctly formatted and that the
global
field is properly set. The error indicates that the
getGlobal()
method is returning
null
, which means the state message might be missing the
global
field or it is not properly initialized. 2. Review Connector Configuration: Double-check the configuration of your MySQL source and Typesense destination. Make sure all required fields are correctly populated and that there are no missing or incorrect values. 3. Community Support: Since the Typesense destination is part of the community connectors and not currently prioritized for updates, consider reaching out to the Airbyte community for more specific guidance or potential fixes. You can join the Airbyte Slack community and discuss your issue with other users and contributors. 4. Contribute to the Connector: If you have the capability, you might consider contributing to the Typesense connector to address this issue.
