> Currently we have relatively complicated logic in INodesInPath:
> 1) It can contain null elements in its INode array, and in
> {{mkdirRecursively}} these null INodes are replaced with new directories.
> 2) Operations like rename may also replace the inode in its INode array
> 3) {{getINodes}} requires trimming inodes array if the INodesInPath is
> derived from a dot-snapshot path
> 4) A lot of methods directly use/manipulate its INode array
> We aim to simplify the logic of INodesInPath in this jira. Specifically, we
> can
> make INodesInPath an immutable data structure and move the inode trimming
> logic to path resolving.
