### What's Wrong?

When upgrading from Doris version 1.2.8 to version 2.0.0, during metadata compatibility testing, after connecting to the FE node, executing SHOW BACKENDSworked normally. However, executing SHOW FRONTENDS resulted in an error: [StmtExecutor.executeByLegacy():767] execute Exception. stmt[2, 422028d2ade449cd-b08684aa0f9b09e8] java.lang.NullPointerException: null.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the 1.2.8-to-2.0.0 metadata compatibility upgrade and running SHOW FRONTENDS after connecting to the FE node; compare it with the working SHOW BACKENDS command. Inspect the reported StmtExecutor.executeByLegacy():767 exception and its full stack trace. Done means the upgrade outcome is established and SHOW FRONTENDS no longer fails, or the incompatibility is clearly documented.
