Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-7104:
-----------------------------------
[~jingzhao] can you provide any insight to this behavior? Zhe's comments
basically make sense to me (i.e. make the INodesInPath#getINodes getter just a
getter, trim the nulls from .snapshot off immediately), but a second opinion
would be great. We already have ways of knowing if an IIP refers to a snapshot,
so I don't think the extra nulls add much information.

> inodes is initialized with the number of patch components. After resolve, it
> contains both non-null and null elements (introduced by dot-snapshot dirs).
> When getINodes is called, an array is returned excluding all non elements,
> which is the correct behavior. Meanwhile, the inodes array is trimmed too,
> which shouldn't be done by a getter.
> Because of the above, the behavior of getINodesInPath depends on whether
> getINodes has been called, which is not correct.
> The name of getLastINodeInPath is confusing – it actually returns the last
> non-null inode in the path. Also, shouldn't the return type be a single INode?
