Review Comment:
   In general, an API should throw a checked exception to report errors and let 
the client side decide how to handle it. An exception object can hold the 
details of the error and it is easy to extend in the future. Returning a 
boolean doesn't hold any information about the error and it is hard to extend 
without API change.
