The main cause of failure in job 50213573092 is repeated errors related to decoding the custom field , specifically:

org.apache.rocketmq.remoting.exception.RemotingCommandException: the custom field <defaultTopic> is nullat org.apache.rocketmq.remoting.protocol.RemotingCommand.decodeCommandCustomHeaderDirectly(RemotingCommand.java:307)

This error occurs multiple times during topic creation and update operations, indicating that the fielddefaultTopic is expected but not set or is being passed as null in requests to the broker.

Solution:

1. EnsuredefaultTopic Is Set in Requests**

• Check all places where requests are made to create or update topics, especially in tests and any client code.
• Make sure the request header includes a non-null value fordefaultTopic where it's required.

Example Fix in Java:
If you are constructing a request using a command header, ensure you setdefaultTopic:

java:-
YourCustomHeader header = new YourCustomHeader();
header.setDefaultTopic("YOUR_TOPIC_NAME"); // Set to an appropriate topic name
remotingCommand.setCustomHeader(header);

2. Add Null Checks in Broker/Processor Code- In `RemotingCommand.decodeCommandCustomHeaderDirectly`, add a null check and handle missing fields more gracefully, possibly with a default value or clear error message.Example Defensive Code:```javaif (customHeader.getDefaultTopic() == null) {    throw new RemotingCommandException("The custom field <defaultTopic> must not be null");}

But ideally, the fix should be at the source (where the request is constructed), not just error handling.

3. Review Test Definitions**

Several log entries suggest the issue may be in the integration tests for topic creation. Check test files for topic creation requests, and verify thatdefaultTopic is set.

Additional Error: NullPointerException insetCommitLogReadaheadMode

java.lang.NullPointerException: null
at org.apache.rocketmq.broker.processor.AdminBrokerProcessor.setCommitLogReadaheadMode(AdminBrokerProcessor.java:1050)

Solution: Add null checks for the objects used insidesetCommitLogReadaheadMode. Ensure all required arguments are initialized before use.
