                 Key: OAK-48
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-48
             Project: Jackrabbit Oak
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: mk
            Reporter: Michael D=C3=BCrig


As discussed on the list [1, 2] exceptions should only be used for exceptio=
nal cases. Requesting a not existing node through Microkernel.getNodes() sh=
ould therefore rather return null instead of throwing an exception.
