记录一下我在安装 canal-adapter1.1.14最新版本安装的过程中出现的NullPointerException异常
以下是我的canal-adapter/logs文件夹内adapter.log文件的报错日志，仅仅抽取报错部分

我下载了源码，然后根据报错信息去跟踪分析，
大致分析出来是getMqServers()这个方法在调用的时候，返回了空值，那我就去配置文件中去搜索“mq”，结果还真的有
在canal-adapter/conf文件夹下的application.yml文件中
终于发现这个不起眼的注释，然后把这个注释打开之后，再重新restart一下adapter，世界重新变得美好了。
