Rodrigo Schmidt commented on HADOOP-6796:
-----------------------------------------
Okay! I see your point.
Maybe we should just prevent null srcPaths on constructors other than the
default one. This at least makes it clear that users should not create
FileStatus objects with null srcPaths.
> FileStatus allows null srcPath but crashes if that's done
