change S3Exception to checked exception ---------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-5613 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5613 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: fs/s3 Affects Versions: 0.18.3 Reporter: Andrew Hitchcock Priority: Minor Currently the S3 filesystems can throw unchecked exceptions (S3Exception) which are not declared in the interface of FileSystem. These aren't caught by the various callers and can cause unpredictable behavior. IOExceptions are caught by most users of FileSystem since it is declared in the interface and hence is handled better. I propose we modify S3Exception to extend IOException. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
