@bananer is this worth pulling forward if it passes a build? Is it a
breaking change?
> Errors thrown from JavaScript client is strings and not errors
> --------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: THRIFT-3916
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3916
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript - Compiler
> Reporter: Simen Bekkhus
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: javascript
>
> In JavaScript, you can {{throw}} any object, including strings, but to get
> stack traces one should throw {{Errors}}.
> The generated JS code throws the error string directly, instead of wrapping
> it in {{new Error}}.
> Node core _only_ rejects with/throws Errors, never strings, and Thrift should
> follow the same standard.
> https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_class_error
> {quote}
> All errors generated by Node.js, including all System and JavaScript errors,
> will either be instances of, or inherit from, the Error class.
> {quote}
> PR for the change [here|https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1075].
