Getting Validation Failure for S3 Load Component

The job was working fine in Production, suddenly it stopped working, when reading files from S3, using the S3 Load Component.

Here is the error

Validation Failure. An error occurred during component validation

 

Validated the Instance Credentials and User Defined credentials, both were successful.

 

Has anyone faced similar type of issue before, and any resolution for the same.

I'm also researching, I'll post if I come across a fix.

To add more information to this issue -

The job reads from S3 and Loads data to Snowflake table.

 

Here is the error I found from the logs -

 

25-Oct-2020 13:00:01.252 SEVERE [task-thread-7] com.matillion.bi.emerald.server.controller.ValidationService.validateOrchestrationComponent An error occurred during component validation

              java.lang.NullPointerException

              java.lang.NullPointerException

 

 

I'm also having the same issue. It is weird that this component worked fine until last month and suddenly it stopped working. I'm on version - 1.53.8. Please advise.
