Review request for Flume and Brock Noland.
Changes
-------
Update description.
Summary (updated)
-------
Actually nothing in that try block would throw an NPE, so removing it. To
clarify:
* a check for type being null is done before entering this code.
* valueOf throws an IllegalArgumentException if the type cannot be found(which
is caught and rethrown)
* All of the getConfiguration functions *will* return a configuration object(or
throw) and not return null.
This addresses bug FLUME-1160.

> Catching NPE and then returning null is super hard to debug when there is an
> actual bug. We should put the appropriate null checks in place so we don't
> have to catch NPE.
