------------------------------------
Thank you for pointing it out. Actually we are using the name of "user.xxx",
the pseudo code snippet here is just used to explain the issue.
> The first non-existing xattr should also throw IOException

> We use the following code snippet to get/set xattrs. However, if there are no
> xattrs have ever been set, the first getXAttr returns null and the second one
> just throws exception with message like "At least one of the attributes
> provided was not found.". This is not expected, we believe they should
> behave in the same way - i.e either both getXAttr returns null or both
> getXAttr throw exception with the message "... not found". We will provide a
> patch to make them both throw exception.

> attrValueNM = fs.getXAttr(path, "nm");
> if (attrValueNM == null) {
> fs.setXAttr("nm", DEFAULT_VALUE);
> }
> attrValueNN = fs.getXAttr(path, "nn");
> if (attrValueNN == null) {
> fs.setXAttr("nn", DEFAULT_VALUE);
> }
> ....
