Comment (by muks):

 Hi Michal, Jinmei

 Replying to [comment:9 vorner]:
 > I agree with Jinmei it would be better to have some kind of exception
 hierarchy for this.

 This is added now.

 > Also, there are some problems with the code:
 >  * You reuse log-ids. That's forbidden, each log ID must appear at
 exactly one place of the code.

 Fixed. :)

 >  * Can a user cause `DATASRC_LOAD_NULL_RRSET` to happen? How? I think
 this is a programmer error (that there's a NULL RRset to start with). What
 would the user do with a null RRset if it happens? Would he at least guess
 what the problem is? (because from user point of view, there's no such
 thing as NULL RRset).

 There was a way before using the `add()` method which has been removed
 since. But even then, I feel it's better to keep the validation check in
 place. But we don't catch the NullRRset (it's not in the `ZoneException`
 hierarchy, but is an `InvalidParameter`) anymore.

 >  * Could there also be unit tests for this, besides lettuce tests?

 I feel lettuce is the best place for it as this is a bug that shows up
 with bad user configuration. One more check has been added to the lettuce
 test. I think they cover the various cases now. Please see this and if you
 feel that a unit test would cover something and would be needed, I'll add
 it.
