Getting "Job aborted" exception while saving data to the database

Hi!
We have job, that runs every hour. It extracts data from the API and saves to the databricks table.
Sometimes job fails with error "org.apache.spark.SparkException". Here is the full error:

An error occurred while calling o7353.saveAsTable.
: org.apache.spark.SparkException: Job aborted. 
... 
Caused by: org.apache.spark.SparkException: Job aborted due to stage failure: Task 1 in stage 177.0 failed 4 times, most recent failure: Lost task 1.3 in stage 177.0 (TID 240) (...): java.lang.NullPointerException

It's happening at the moment of saving data to the table. 
I want to understand why it is happening and it is possible to solve this problem.

Thank you!

Do you have any NULL values in your data? Please verify that you data is valid
