Arvind Prabhakar commented on FLUME-984:
----------------------------------------
@Juhani - Sorry if I came across as not being sensitive to the discussion here.
Please re-open the Jira to continue the discussion or better still, open
another Jira to address exception handling throughout the project.
I do feel that putting logic into exceptions is a choice that causes more
unpredictable behavior and is hard to implement. Hence my suggestion to Brock
to remove it. Since he updated the patch, I felt it was ready for commit.
> SinkRunner should catch unhanded exceptions and log them like
> PollingSourceRunner
