----------------------------------------

the problem here is a java5/java6 constructor change in IOE

> 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.
