Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-7018:
----------------------------------
bq. The reason is that if you attempt to throw a C++ exception through a C API,
the program will abort (technically, std::terminate will be called). I realize
you probably think you have caught all possible exceptions, but since this is
C++, we can never really be sure without the catch (...)
This brings up a good point. Should we ensure that the C++ API is
exception-free first and revisit this jira? Otherwise the binding has to wrap
every single function with {{catch(...)}}.
