Making distributed cache getters in JobContext never return null
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-990
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-990
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Philip Zeyliger
            Assignee: Philip Zeyliger
            Priority: Minor


MAPREDUCE-898 moved distributed cache setters and getters into Job and JobContext.  Since the API is new, I'd like to propose that those getters never return null, but instead always return an array, even if it's empty.

If people don't like this change, I can instead merely update the javadoc to reflect the fact that null may be returned.
