Description

1. On cluster1 , created an entity and associated it to a tag.
2. Exported the entity into a zipfile.
3. cluster2 is in clean state.(i.e no entity / tag is created)
4. Tried to import the entity zip into cluster2 with import option "updateTypeDefinition" set to false.
5. Import failed with NPE.

Since updateTypeDefinition is set to false , NPE is thrown when the entity is attempted to be associated to the tag in the backup cluster.

This is the expected behavior , but the cause of the issue is not very explicit to the end user when Atlas throws NPE.

Attached the exception stack trace.
