Abhishek Bafna commented on OOZIE-2748:
---------------------------------------
Assuming end-application does not have number of arguments and null checks in
place.
{{AAA CCC}} Vs {{AAA null CCC}}, application will use the argument {{CCC}}
instead of {{null}}, for performing the operation and some operation could be
hard to recover back (e.g. delete a dir/file). Though user application will any
way fail with {{ArrayIndexOutOfBounds}} given one argument is missing. \[This
is a specific type of use case.\]
In either case users will blame Oozie. It is just that, passing a {{null}}
seems to be safer than removing the argument. Thanks.
