> IRCSink.java does not initialize splitlines to a default value if it is not
> contained in the config. It does check if splitChars is NULL, and initialize
> it to the default constant, but it does not do so for splitlines.
> The user guide found
> [here|http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html#irc-sink] does show that
> splitlines has no default value, but it is not bold (indicating it must be
> defined in the config).
> Obviously if splitlines is not configured, you'll get a NPE when sendLine is
> called, since it does not check for NULL values either.
