Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-6028:
----------------------------------------

the line in question is part of the split up of the path

{code}
  static byte[][] getPathComponents(String path) {
    return getPathComponents(getPathNames(path));  //in getPathComponents
  }
{code}

{{getPathNames()}} returns null if the input is bad, but 
getPathComponents(String[]) assumes that the array is always non-null.

Presumably this could be unit tested fairly easily, it all being static path 
parsing work.
