Hiroshi Ikeda commented on HADOOP-10230:
----------------------------------------

I don't think such a contract is really needed, because I think no one makes 
use of the contract, and that just makes the implementation messy.

It is enough to remove the contract of throwing NPE, and add non-null 
preconditions if needed (though passing a null argument is generally prohibited 
unless it is specified what the null means).

> The contract of GSet says it is ensured to throw NullPointerException if a 
> given argument is null for many methods, but GSetByHashMap doesn't. I think 
> just writing non-null preconditions for GSet are required.
