Now it returns something that explicitly means empty. Other code seemed confused about what null meant and would expand it to an infinite range, which was harmless and resulted in files with no data going to all children tablets when a tablet split. The new code returns some more specific than null to denote empty file. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
