Mark Paluch opened DATAREDIS-564 and commented

A NullPointerException can occur when calling JedisConnection.expire during a transaction or pipelining and seconds is greater than Integer.MAX_VALUE. This is, because a call to time() and using the result without checking the result.

Jedis' expire method accepts only int so pExpire delegates to pExpireAt if seconds is greater than Integer.MAX_VALUE. pExpireAt requires a timestamp that is calculated by calling time() and adding the number of seconds to the timestamp.

This issue could be fixed by using pExpire as Jedis now accepts long types in pexpire.
