    Description

      FileSystem#getFileChecksum may accept length parameter and 0 is a valid value. Currently it will return null when length is 0, in the following code block:

          //compute file MD5
          final MD5Hash fileMD5 = MD5Hash.digest(md5out.getData());
          switch (crcType) {
          case CRC32:
            return new MD5MD5CRC32GzipFileChecksum(bytesPerCRC,
                crcPerBlock, fileMD5);
          case CRC32C:
            return new MD5MD5CRC32CastagnoliFileChecksum(bytesPerCRC,
                crcPerBlock, fileMD5);
          default:
            // If there is no block allocated for the file,
            // return one with the magic entry that matches what previous
            // hdfs versions return.
            if (locatedblocks.size() == 0) {
              return new MD5MD5CRC32GzipFileChecksum(0, 0, fileMD5);
            }
      
            // we should never get here since the validity was checked
            // when getCrcType() was called above.
            return null;
          }
      

      The comment says "we should never get here since the validity was checked" but it does. As we're using the MD5-MD5-X approach, and EMPTY--CONTENT actually is a valid case in which the MD5 value is d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e, so suggest we return a reasonable value other than null. At least some useful information in the returned value can be seen, like values from block checksum header.
