EChukwukere-WMF moved this task from Needs QA to Done on the Language-Team (Language-2022-October-December) board.Nov 3 2022, 3:40 AM

Since this patch is only a backend fix for an issue that only occasionally occurred, it is very difficult to be properly verified by the QA. Since we have added the proper check to avoid the error, and the error has not appeared again in Logstash, we can consider it done.
