I've created a ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-527 (Asynchronous cache operations must throw CacheException instead of IgniteException)
The reason of ExecutionException is separation exception that is computation result and other exceptions like CancellationException, InterruptedException. I don't say that our approach is bad (throwing exception directly without wrapping into ExecutionException), but we must honor contract described in java.util.concurrent.Future because IgniteFuture extends java.util.concurrent.Future. Theoretically, user can pass our IgniteFuture to third party code as a simple java.util.concurrent.Future, third party code will expect ExecutionException and java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException when call "get(...)". Hazelcast's future has method 'getSafely()' that throws RuntimeException directly, but "get()" works according to java.util.concurrent.Future contract.
