Spliterator.trySplit() ?

SASWATA MANDALDec 18 2020

Hi Experts ,
The trySplit() method of java.util.Spliterator<T> can return null or Spliterator<T>. So, since it can return null , its return type should be Optional<Spliterator<T>> . Optional<T> is introduced in JAVA 8 to handle NullPointerExceptions. So , why Optional is not used as its return type ?
Thanks & Regards
Saswata Mandal
