Review Comment:
   This old code would return null when the file was empty.  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.
