             Summary: Configuration.getClasses never returns default value
                 Key: HADOOP-8750
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8750
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Bo Wang
            Assignee: Bo Wang


getClasses method in Configuration never returns defaultValue even if the 
classnames is not set in Configuration.

public Class<?>[] getClasses(String name, Class<?> ... defaultValue) {
    String[] classnames = getTrimmedStrings(name);
    if (classnames == null)
      return defaultValue;
    // Load and return classes using classnames... (omitted)
  }

This is because the condition "if (classnames == null)" is always True. If name 
is not set in Configuration, classnames will be an empty array (but not null).

To fix it, just change the condition to "if (classnames == null || 
classnames.length == 0)"
