Description

Description

EventHandler throwns a NullPointerException if the meta.id field is not found in consumed event. This can be done better with the event being ignored and better message in the log. There is no actual validation of the event with a schema and it is this way by design to allow technically any type of protocol.

Motivation

A better explanation in the log.

Exemplification

Benefits

Possible Drawbacks

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the EventHandler class, find where meta.id is accessed without null check, modify to ignore event and log a warning message instead of throwing NPE.
