> exists() was modified to invoke getFileStatus() internally. But 
> getFileStatus() throws FileNotFoundException for files which does not exists 
> and this is logged in RPC$Server for each exists() call. One way to get rid 
> of these messages is at the Name Node, catch FileNotFoundException and return 
> null. In this case, RPC would not log it in namenode log. But at the client 
> end we might have to check for null on all calls of getFileStatus(). Other 
> option at client end is to construct FileNotFoundException() when 
> getFileInfo() returns null.
