> Key: HADOOP-3642

> I find myself having to throw IOExceptions a lot, and create new ones -but
> the classes signature varies from java1.5 to 1.6, and the base IOException is
> fairly meaningless. If Hadoop added a HadoopIOException, it could be thrown
> whenever hadoop's own code needed to create new IOExceptions, and possibly be
> differentiated in the catch() logic.
> The biggest disadvantage of doing this is that as IOException is built into
> the JVM, you can be sure that the far end will be able to deserialize it
> under RMI, without having the rest of hadoop on the classpath. This is not a
> feature of hadoop, so should not be an issue. For those of us who do use RMI,
> well, we'd better get our classpaths right.
