Research direction

Start by reading org.apache.paimon.spark.SparkInternalRow.java, especially fromPaimon at line 274 and getUTF8String at line 157, then inspect the Spark 3.3 integration path. The issue provides no minimal reproduction, so establish a reproducible case for the reported NullPointerException before determining what a fix should demonstrate.
