[SUPPORT] Could not sync using the meta sync class org.apache.hudi.hive.HiveSyncTool (com.pe.skull.titan.utils.SparkUtils)

Hello Hoodie support,

We are migrating from Hudi 12 to Hudi 15 in our production pipelins

but We are not able to migrate the pipelines and there is pipeline outage because pipelines are failing consistently.

sharingError Traces with you for one of the pipeline

Can anyone help here as it's very urgent and causing production outage

Start with TimelineUtils.java at getDroppedPartitions and follow the call through HoodieSyncClient.getDroppedPartitionsSince and HiveSyncTool.java during the Hudi 12-to-15 migration. Reproduce the failure from the reported HiveSyncTool path and confirm the pipeline completes meta sync without the NullPointerException.
