ClusteredCacheLoader.getChildrenNames() returns a null if it cannot connect to the cluster
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBCACHE-1360
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1360
             Project: JBoss Cache
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Cache loaders
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA
            Reporter: Manik Surtani
         Assigned To: Manik Surtani
             Fix For: 2.2.0.GA


This is a pretty nasty problem, since according to the CacheLoader interface contract, getChildrenNames() returning null is a VALID response meaning that there are no children for the node in question, causing the CacheLoaderInterceptor to remove all children on the node.

The CCL should actually throw an exception of it cannot connect to the cluster - or if the cluster is empty - and hence cannot know the result of getChildrenNames().
