You probably ran the program first with BLOG_COUNT set to 10. This created nodes /blogs and /blogs/blogN (0 <= N < 10) and those nodes were persisted for the next invocation of the program. Then, when you ran the program again, the statement s.getRootNode().addNode("blogs") created a *same-name sibling* for the /blogs node, namely /blogs[2], after which your program created nodes /blogs[2]/blogN (0 <= N < 20). Thus, nodes /blogs/blogN (10 <= N < 20) were never created, causing your PathNotFoundExceptions. You can solve the issue by a) removing the entire repository between program runs, b) deleting the /blogs content tree at the end of each run, or c) checking if the nodes being created already exist (see Node.hasNode).
