> In getMatchingLevelForNodes, we assume that both nodes have the same "depth"
> (ie number of path components). If the user provides a topology script that
> assigns one node a path like /foo/bar/baz and another node a path like
> /foo/blah, this function will throw an NPE.
> I'm not sure if there are other places where we assume that all node
> locations have a constant number of paths. If so we should check the output
> of the topology script aggressively to be sure this is the case. Otherwise I
> think we simply need to add && n2 != null to the while loop
