Richard Rodgers commented on DS-742:
------------------------------------
Not sure where/ when the NPE occurs, but changeset 5739 (the fix) contains an
error that breaks the build.
The getMetadata() method that returns 'terms' is never null, but it *can* be a
zero-length array. In this case, the test
terms[0] != null will throw a ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception.
Checking in a fix - although reverting would work also. Need more detail in
this ticket to address the underlying issue.
