Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-5700:
--------------------------------------
In your case, if getPathNames() returned 'new String[0];' rather than null, would the it work
fine? (i.e. namenode.getFileInfo() behaves as though a non-existent path was queried).
But that still leaves the problem with namenode.getFileInfo(null).
> INode.getPathComponents throws NPE when given a non-absolute path

> If you pass a path that doesn't start with '/' to INode.getPathComponents, it throws
a NullPointerException. Instead it should throw IllegalArgumentException to make it clear
that absolute paths are required in this code.
> The attached patch fixes this, clarifies, the javadoc, and adds a test case.
