@kapa.ai Warning from replication: Something went wrong during replication Cannot invoke "io.airbyte.protocol.models.AirbyteGlobalState.getStreamStates()" because the return value of "io.airbyte.protocol.models.AirbyteStateMessage.getGlobal()" is null
u
This error message indicates that there is an issue with the state management during the replication process. Specifically, the method
getStreamStates()
is being invoked on a null object returned by
getGlobal()
. This could be due to a problem with the source or destination connector, or with the data being processed. This issue has been reported in several GitHub issues for Airbyte, such as [source-mongodb](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/45133), [destination-duckdb](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/38749), and [Source MYSQL](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/32588). In some cases, the issue was resolved by using a different destination connector. The
AirbyteStateMessage
is part of the Airbyte Protocol and is used to manage the state of data replication. It can represent the state for the whole source or for individual streams. If the state of the stream is set to null in
stream_states
, the next time the source runs, it should treat that state as reset. This message should only be used in cases where there is a shared state across streams, otherwise, the
STREAM
state type should be preferred ([source](https://docs.airbyte.com/understanding-airbyte/airbyte-protocol#airbytestatemessage)). If you continue to encounter this issue, it would be helpful to provide more details about your setup (source and destination connectors, their versions, and the configuration settings) when reporting the issue to the Airbyte team.
