NPE Exception in Java client with nested query

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

When I switched over to the 90.0 version from 20.4, I started seeing some
null pointer exceptions in the Java client from my integration tests. The
problem is not reproducible using the REST API.

It seems to occur when you do a nested query against multiple indices and
one of the indices has no documents that match a query (but does have some
documents in it).

The problem occurs in the AggregatedDfs.writeTo method because of the
entries in the fieldStatistics map has an entry with a null key.

A highly abbreviated call stack of where the exception occurs:
at
org.elasticsearch.common.io.stream.HandlesStreamOutput.writeString(HandlesStreamOutput.java:55)
at
org.elasticsearch.search.dfs.AggregatedDfs.writeTo(AggregatedDfs.java:106)
at
org.elasticsearch.search.query.QuerySearchRequest.writeTo(QuerySearchRequest.java:69)
at
org.elasticsearch.transport.netty.NettyTransport.sendRequest(NettyTransport.java:546)

I've created a Gist that reproduces the problem:

Nice finding, I think it would be a good thing to open an issue on
github with the full stack trace.
