> Thrift should not swallow ALL exceptions

> In Thrift 0.8.0, Thrift generated Java code did not swallow application
> exceptions. As a result of THRIFT-1658, this behavior changed in 0.9.0 and
> now the generated code swallows ALL application exceptions (via
> ProcessFunction). Apparently this was the behavior in Thrift 0.6.0 and while
> I see the rationale, it is breaking our applications.
> Our code relies on the fact that exceptions can propagate outside of Thrift
> for certain things (e.g., to aggressively drop connections for clients that
> send invalid/malformed requests). ProcessFunction makes it near impossible to
> do this -- not only does it swallow the exception, it also loses all
> information about the original exception and just writes out a generic
> TApplicationException.
> IMO ProcessFunction should only catch TException. If the application code
> wants to use other exceptions for some reason (in particular, Errors and
> RuntimeExceptions), Thrift shouldn't prevent that.
