Hello @KristiLogos,
The error you are encountering, java.sql.SQLException: [Simba][JDBC](11380) Null pointer exception
, is a known issue with the Simba JDBC driver for BigQuery. This error typically occurs when there is a problem with the data being fetched, such as null values or unexpected data types that the driver cannot handle. Could you please advise which JDBC version are you using?
You might need to adjust settings such as spark.sql.shuffle.partitions
and spark.executor.memory

@Alberto_Umana My cluster's JDBC URL shows: 2.6.25 or later
Also, where would I adjust the spark.sql.shuffle.partitions and spark.executor.memory? in the notebook?

@Alberto_Umana In addition to my last comment:
For adjusting the spark.sql.shuffle.partitions and spark.executor.memory, I tried this but I was still seeing the same error
