Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-5700:
------------------------------------------------

Here is my suggested fix:
{code}
   static byte[][] getPathComponents(String path) {
-    return getPathComponents(getPathNames(path));
+    final String[] strings = getPathNames(path);
+    if (strings == null) {
+      throw new IllegalArgumentException(path == null? "path == null"
+          : "Must pass an absolute path to getPathComponents, path=" + path);
+    }
+    return getPathComponents(strings);
   }
{code}

> 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.
